Could anyone here, honest, as we all are I know, guarantee at 100% that the OP won't ever have any virus issue on his Debian system ? No. Should he fear viruses as much as on a Windows system ? Certainly not. Security relies first on common sense. Is it common sense to rely on the hackers laziness to attack Linux because it would maybe eventually be unattractive ? Certainly not. Does run a AV from time to time on his computer will harm the OP or his machine ? Unless he does it manually with a hammer and a saw.. I don't think so. So should you (the OP) run an AV ? Well.. I guess. IMVHO ;) Kind regards, -- “One original thought is worth a thousand mindless quotings.” “Le vrai n'est pas plus sûr que le probable.” Diogene Laerce
