Do you have any antivirus recomendations for Linux.

    You might be legitimately annoyed by the amount of free antivirus software on Windows that don’t offer good protection, on top of being filled with ads. But I don’t agree that scanning for malicious files and preventing dangerous commands (regardless of how good the implementation is) can be labelled as snake oil.

        As Linux gets more popular, malware will target Linux, it’s just a matter of time. So right now it’s not a big problem, but hopefully Linux gets popular enough that it happens.

            You could say the same about macOS, but now that gets targeted, and Linux has about the same amount of reported userbase as macOS now. So if Linux continues to gain traction, I expect it to follow macOS in becoming a target for malware. Maybe it’ll take longer because of the fragmentation, but I think we’ll get there.
