Rob13 Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Are using anti-malware with your Linux OS? If so which one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keeniau96 Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 I have been using Linux for some 10 years now, occasionally had Clam AV installed but not currently. Noted that Comodo has a free Linux AV and tried d/l but it just does not d/l for Mint 64-bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_boo Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Clam AV here also. But better to practice good security. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only just started using Mint, it doesn't seem to be a big deal right now. As Linux gets more popular I'm concerned about the malware adapting to Linux systems. don't really want to be left with out any protection.

I am running Mint 17.3 64-bit Cinnamon on my laptop and desktop machines and have ClamTK on both. ClamTK is just the GUI for ClamAV, as far as I am aware, and is running on a daily schedule. Seems to be working normally as far as I can tell. ClamTK and associated files are in the Mint Repository. DM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
