[QUOTE="tipo, post: 977021, member: 1912"] Are you installing software from other sources except the repositories? If no, than you don’t have to have an av installed. Iframes, exploits etc that you can encounter browsing the web on a windows based pc are not working on linux, so the risk of getting infected is minimized. Don’t get me wrong, i’m not a linux expert, i started using linux probably 2 months ago, but from all the reviews, tips and tricks, howto’s i’ve watched, at least 90% of them were saying that an av is unnecesary on linux. P.S. this is my opinion as a standard home linux user. If you are doing something else than disregard this message. [/QUOTE]
