[QUOTE="MacDefender, post: 920968, member: 83059"] Yeah my Fortinet flags a lot of Linux malware, usually some of the Mozi botnet compiled for ARM: [URL='https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=Mozi+worm&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8']Mozi worm[/URL] Since it mostly is targeted towards internet-facing devices, I have a policy that internet-facing servers must be on a different subnet and undergo full SSL decryption/inspection by the Fortinet, which includes AV scanning. I've honestly rarely seen Linux client malware, certainly not enough of it to justify installing an antivirus program on the client. Most of the times I've found the Windows versions of popular AV software does fine at detecting Linux malware, it doesn't seem like they turn off the Linux or macOS signatures on other platforms.
