Free AntiVir often only allow active HD scanning, not background guarding. Often that is constantly-on active background guarding missing.

Nobody can convince me that a whole business can afford to give away for free the same quality and scale of features that it offers in its payware versions, without getting into fiscal trouble.Īlso note that many freeware software lacks many features of the payware version. 🙂 Mayb eI should even start tlelign people how bad and liusy they are, so that they would be better off if not using it. Maybe I should stop recommending Linux Mint or Firefox, therefore. >Your best protection maybe is to use software with as small as possible market shares.<<< No Google. Like with browsers under Windows: those that are most targetted are those that are more popular than others. If Linux should become more popular, the same can and most likely will happen to it as well. That is especially true for the games section, it seems, so be on your guard. Google take sit out when they become aware of it, but it cannot prevcent it from entering it in the first. Even at Google Playstore there is infested software being offered.

This belief today cannot be longer suppported, if somebodystills tells you you need no security on your Android cellphone or tablet, don’T be shy but laugh that person loud right into his/her face.

Some years ago, Android, basing on Linux btw., was said to be absolutely safe, and that you should be “careful” and only download from Google Playstore. I remind of how relatively fast things detoriated under Android. Not so much to defend Linux, but to help the protection of Windows.
If you are like me, running a Linux-Windows dual boot system, or are server for Windows systems (most servers in Windows networks run under Liunux, I read), or interchange datafiles between Linux and Windows installations, you should have some scanner and protection against Windows malware in place – even on Linux systems. While Linux is not often targetted by malware, this can change and actually does change, and it already right now helps in distributing Windows-aiming malware. There is apparently no security suite for Linux out there that is really worth to pay money for. I recommend to consider these findings and implications:

It’s useful to install a Linux anti-virus and run it occasionally (AFAIK there’s no real on-line antivirus for Linux). You always need to follow best practices for the security of your system. Someone who wants to hack your Linux box can do it. Linux is far less subject to malware than Windows but that is more a function of low Linux market share on desktops, not of intrinsic immunity of Linux to malware. Bitdefender is light and unobtrusive if you can install it (not always possible). With respect to Avast, it was a great program but for several years it has became heavier and heavier with all the bloat-ware, such that it’s really burdensome even on a fast computer. You can always do that on a virtual machine, but it’s still Windows. Also Linux Wine while it runs many Windows programs is not 100% so that depending on how exotic the programs are that you need, you’re going to be left with a residue of programs that need Windows. This is also true, but to a lesser extent, of Apple. Point 2 means that not all Windows programs or their equivalents can be found on Linux, so the more exotic the Windows program you use the less likely it is Linux will be your solution. Linux Mint is probably the most user friendly version of Linux and is a solution for anyone who 1)can’t afford or doesn’t want to live in the Apple walled garden, 2) has simple requirements that can easily be met by Linux.
