When a seasoned Windows user first migrates to Linux, the first question is always “where is the anti-virus?” I have been asked this question countless time and were always given the “you are lying to me” kind of look when I told them that they don’t need anti-virus software in Linux.
- Linux Anti-Virus Programs Explained 3 years 50 weeks ago
There has been a lot of debate recently over whether or not it's a good idea to run an anti-virus program if you're using Linux.
