Ask HN: Best Antivirus for Linux?
7 by kosasbest | 1 comments on Hacker News.
I consider myself pretty careful with Ubuntu as my daily driver. I only grab official and signed software from the Snap Store, and do all the usual security best practices like 2FA, regular updates, not opening e-mail attachments, strong passwords etc But Linux is getting more popular, and is increasingly becoming a target for malware authors. I read some articles recently of sophisticated so called 'fileless' Linux malware that is polymorphic and hard to detect on a system. Is there any Antivirus for Linux that anyone can recommend (Paid or free) that I can use to do quick sweeps of my system? I don't want some low-hanging fruit virus compromising me, or sophisticated nation state malware, and yes my threat model includes nation states because I'm a sysadmin for my sins and have lots of Intellectual Property I need protecting. I've heard of ClamAV. I tested it out, but I want something more sophisticated.
