I'd say that the need for an antivirus vastly depends on your web browsing habits... Stay safe and you shouldn't need one even when using Windows! I never used an antivirus on my Linux laptop and never had any problem, but then I'm not a heavy downloader.
But if you'd feel safer having an antivirus, then I guess *clamav* would be the way to go, yes. :) On Sat, May 21, 2011 at 19:53, Dos-Man 64 <[email protected]> wrote: > I didnt need antivirus software before because my linux box wasn't > connected to the internet. > > I just bought one of those little usb wifi gadgets on ebay.
