As the popularity of the Linux desktop increases, so does the risk of getting backdoors/trojans/viruses on said systems.

Are there any real anti virus contenders out there besides ClamAV?

[–] Strit@lemmy.linuxuserspace.show 2 points 1 year ago

There are some paid-for ones that have Linux support. How effective they are, I don't know.
