Yeach that was my personal preference but the profliferation of streaming services each with their own exclusive shows made me sail the black seas once again, so i was wondering if there is something to scan downloaded files.
If its even possible in the first place to get a virus on Linux that way.
Yeach i ultimately instaled calmav/clamtk and it did not found anything on my already downloaded files so thats good(alghtough the from end is a bit laggy).
Alghtough im a bit suprised about Linux community hostility to anitviruses. As far as i am concerned doing sketchy stuff on pc is a fairly regular occurence, especialy if you are a power user(And most Linux users are in this category) , so added protection wont harm anyone especialy since Linux as far as i know dosent have the equivalent of Microsoft Defender by deafult .
Obviusly likelyhood of someone even making a virus for Linux is low but it is there
No judgement on what you’re doing online. In your case, don’t download untrusted files, stream where you can. For all users, whether on the black seas or not, you should as a matter of habit use uBlock Origin in your browser, turn on the filterlists for security, ads, annoyances in particular.
@szczuroarturo@18107 best way to do this is first download the file in a VM (best way it to use a torrent) torrents with large amounts of seaders are generally safer.
download in a VM and then use something else to monitor and scan the file locally
Avast! runs on Linux.
Personally I prefer to just avoid clicking on dodgy links. In the last 5 years I haven’t found any viruses. YMMV
And don’t use root for anything that doesn’t need root.
yeah I always try without sudo and do “sudo !!” if it needs it.
