Do you have any antivirus recomendations for Linux.

    I don’t understand why we keep telling new users that it is useless to use an antivirus on Linux. For people with computer knowledge, sure. However more widespread Linux adoption will mean more casual users will start using it. Most of them don’t have the “common sense” that is often mentioned ; these users will eventually fall for scams that tell them to run programs attached in emails or random bash scripts from the internet. The possibility is small, but it’s not zero, so why not protect against it?

      Because snake oil is not helping, or a working substitute.

      Security is a process, not a solution.

    Avast! runs on Linux.

    Personally I prefer to just avoid clicking on dodgy links. In the last 5 years I haven’t found any viruses. YMMV
