You need to install an Antivirus program on Linux, just like you need to do on Mac (Sophos) or Windows (You will suffer if you don’t put one on Windows!) Linux is a growing desktop option thanks to the terrible roll out of Windows 11 and for those of us that prefer Linux anyway. It’s just one more tool in our cybersecurity toolbox:
Open Up the Terminal:
sudo apt install clamav clamav-daemon -y
Verify the Service is Running (You do not have to reboot immediately):
sudo systemctl status clamav-freshclam

sudo clamscan -r /
If your lazy and don’t feel like it, just install a GUI:
sudo apt install clamtk -y
