Do you have any antivirus recomendations for Linux.

      • They dropped Linux support for their home offering in 2022. Corporate probably still works (or you would’ve received an email about it) but they’re not exactly targeting individual consumers with their corporate suite.

      ClamAV is really only used to check for cross virus contamination. It’s a tool that checks for windows malware inside of Linux.

      Linux doesn’t need any malware software. The way Linux runs and works is already way more secure in itself, almost everything you’ll ever download is pre compiled intro software repositories that are checked constantly.

      The only way you’ll catch a virus on Linux is being dumb and clicking ads or downloading something from untrusted sources like websites that could be fake but look real.
