@daarkfall Yup I use ClamAV! Linux is notcompletely virus free so better safe than sorry!

@RazorSh4rk stop this urban legend that linux (and osx/mac os) has no virus... btw I use no one on Windows, if you're not so dumb to click on any banner/file you're safe

@dontbeevil i have a buncha viruses on my laptop because i need them for analysis :D
-
yeah they exists but they don't spread for different reasons:
- they don't care to target an OS with 2% of market share
- the users that use linux are on average more smart than the average of other OS users
- this and that makes more harder to spread -
@runfrodorun Got any resources for best practices for Linux permissions configuration and the like? Just sounds like you may. You can just ignore it if it's a hassle.

@runfrodorun Wow! Thanks for that. I'm going to look at that very carefully. Much appreciated, seriously. Thanks. 👍
-
That's a prime example of why devrant is an awesome community made up of excellent people. Thank you for all that, I'll definitely put it into practice.

@RazorSh4rk Nahh I'd target windows or macOS. Bigger user base so likely more infections

josh12382047yI've used rkhunter to watch for changes on the system, but not had to deal with any malware on Linux yet (knock on wood)

Fluert34yHey. Quite interesting. I read several articles about that it is necessary to have antivirus on almost any OS. Additional protection will never be superfluous! Personally I use Windows and antivirus is a must. I recommend to read how good is McAfee on https://antivirus-review.com/mcafee... and choose this application.

snowman13291dRight. The most used OS for webservers will never be targeted because "it's not popular enough". Here's an article https://linuxsecurity.com/features/... .
What antivirus do you use in your linux..
