ESET Endpont Antivirus for Linux

I haven’t used on-access scanning for years but I remember Dazuko was used by multiple AV devs to provide it.

ClamAV is really only used to check for cross virus contamination. It’s a tool that checks for windows malware inside of Linux.

Linux doesn’t need any malware software. The way Linux runs and works is already way more secure in itself, almost everything you’ll ever download is pre compiled intro software repositories that are checked constantly.

The only way you’ll catch a virus on Linux is being dumb and clicking ads or downloading something from untrusted sources like websites that could be fake but look real.

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.
