Today I downloaded the new ESET NOD32 Antivirus 4 for linux and I was amazed to see it's GUI, The GUI looks great and fast and it also removed 6 viruses from a friends Windows Hard Drive. (I was using Linux to scan it)
But after NOD32 finished I ran Avast for Linux.
I was amazed to se that Avast detected and cleaned a windows rootkit that NOD32 did not even noticed.
I would love to see Avast for linux on pair in features to the windows version of Avast.. I would definitely buy it.
Extra protection is very important for me. I am relly thinking of buying NOD32 and have that extra protection with Avast for linux.
Does Avast for Linux has Spyware detection too?.
Regards
I feel it must be stressed that Linux is not windows, as simple as that may seem.
There's really not a lot that your Linux System will succumb to as far as Malware. Being an active member of your Distros community, and asking anything that concerns you is a great help, in fact essential. You will also find that the Security of your Browser is probably a great place to start patching any weaknesses. Then again, that is a minor issue. There are not Viruses for Linux. THere are bad practises however, thus reading, asking questions is the go
Looking for Viruses on a Linux System is very 'Microsoft'. In fact you say you looked for Viruses on a Windows Comp using a Linux Comp.
Time to forget Viruses, and learn good practises. We fall into a mindset that there are Viruses everywhere, which of course there are in a Windows environment.
Just enjoy Linux, and read up at your Distros site, ask the Senior members questions, and read.
