AFAIK the only use most people have for AV software on Linux is when
they're running a mail server and want to filter certain kinds of spam
from reaching their Windows users. I do online banking in Fedora and
have never installed AV software. My bank also has a general warning
about using AV (which they seem to use as a catch-all term for any kind
of anti-malware). I just ignore it.

[BTW, anyone else see the irony that most banking websites will not let
you use a password manager?].
