![]() ![]() Rarely does a remote vulnerability happen, where a miscreant doesn't have to have physical access to the keyboard (the last that I recall was way back in 2019, and required a kernel update). Linux does have occasional vulnerabilities, but those require that somebody that is untrusted be sitting at the keyboard. Otherwise, the executable cannot run and cannot do anything. First, the file must be made executable (sudo chmod +x nameoffile), because there is no 'click and run as user' the way Windows works. It is damn near impossible to load a virus onto a linux machine. but for my knowledge from info in here and other Linux forums, it dosen't protect your Linux system. interesting.Īs for ClamAV, it is good if you have a Linux-Windows network so you can protect your windows machines. so i will read about Sohpos AV as i never heard of it. Linux isn't Mac that have a lot of protection even if it is unix/linux based. there isn't any good for common users as I know of. as those are not just lose in the wild but more they target a specific company/serverfarmĪs for best antivirus. Linux Desktop is built on Linux server, so it is possible even if it is unlikely. but so far, 95% of those viruses/malware that are target Linux system is more for Linux servers. you have a bigger chance to get a virus/malware on a Mac and that is low as 99% of all viruses is built to target windows systems.Īs more start using Linux Desktop it will be more of them in the future. ![]() It is extremely rare with viruses that target Linux desktop. Windows can not get viruses either if you follow the same rules as for Linux.ġ don't install software that arn't trusted.ģ don't download a lot of strange things from unknown websites and torrentsĤ don't run unknown Sudo commands from anonymous webpagesĥ don't click on things you don't know what it isĦ just because other say you cant get viruses, don't become reckless and think you are 100% safeĪ common myth that spreads over internet is that Linux Desktop is immune to viruses. ![]()
