Nope, nothing. I use ESET Endpoint on Windows though.
No. I only use Android as my PC via AR glasses. Is there even any antivirus software for Android? Probably, but I don't care I guess. Never had a problem.
I pay for Dr Web for Linux and Android because I like the idea that I'm supporting white hat hackers find malware. Do I think I need it? No.
No because I don't download software via unsafe tools like web browsers or flatpak.
I don't use one, it's unnecessary. Keep your system light, use only free software and utilize some of your common sense and you'll be all right.
This one time my brother had his pc(winblows) infested just by plugging in a flash-drive, seriously, just that!!. I hate proprietary software.
Yes of course. It’s like basic hygiene, washing your hands after visiting the restroom.
Which AV do you use for Linux? I searched for it a while ago and could not find good options. Either discontinued or extremely expensive (focused on business / servers). Of course there is Clam, but AFAIK it is still lacking in quality and not easy to set up for continuous monitoring.
I'd agree if most antiviruses weren't the equivalent of washing your hands with plain tap water and nothing else, or often, poop in place of soap
Linux
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.
