[QUOTE="mazskolnieces, post: 923710, member: 88422"] ClamAV low detection is no surprise. Dr Web detects most files and URLs on the popular sites. I'm not saying it is the best for Linux nor recommending anyone use it. However, given the fact that it is the only common sense choice for consumers, it isn't as if they have much choice unless they're willing shell out hundreds of dollars for an enterprise Linux solution. Just making an observation. The thing about Linux malware is that one has to be doing some off-the-wall downloading. What I see is a 16 year old out on the web just looking for stuff then downloading it - more or less indiscriminately because they want to either check out or want the benefit of whatever they downloaded. One has to really go out of their way to land on a malicious webpage targeting Linux. [/QUOTE]
