From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

What is the recommended AV scan solution for Linux? Sounds like it’s needed these days.
Thanks, my government (UK) has banned Kaspersky for use in their infrastructure, so I’ll follow their advice for my own. Not mentioned in the replies is BitDefender, I see they have a solution as well, I’ll evaluate.
Maybe Crowdstrike? I know I see it on our linux machines. I am not endorsing it one way or the other. I will say that we have had a couple of incidents where I thought it was taking up more cpu in a high cpu situation, but our admins turned it off, and that wasn't the problem. So I guess it's working ok. One of their updates caused some issues one time, and I don't recall the exact details, but I think that was a one off and they haven't done it again.
