[QUOTE="MacDefender, post: 920984, member: 83059"] Totally agreed just because you run Linux doesn't mean you don't need security services but right now there's not really any compelling "set it and forget it" Linux antimalware software. Most of them scan for known malware but these days it requires so much more than that. My best advice there is to look at Linux distributions that use AppArmor and SELinux style mandatory access control. Then, make sure that for any applications or servers that you use that don't have a pre-made set of hardened rules, to create some yourself, then log all violations to somewhere you'll check. Finally, like with any other system, you want your network-level firewall to perform indicator-of-compromise detection via an IPS or another UTM style network traffic reputation service. [/QUOTE]
