[QUOTE="shmu26, post: 892812, member: 37647"] If you install your software from the official Ubuntu repository, you don't need to worry about malware. If you install third-party software, and especially if you start adding PPAs (automatic software updaters) then you need to excercise good judgment. There are no good real-time AVs for Linux that I know of. I am pretty sure that most linux users do not run real-time AV. Malware on linux is mainly targetting Linux servers, not home users. It's what they call "security by obscurity". [/QUOTE]
