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.
I think if you added this context to your post, you’d get less hostile answers from people saying you don’t need one. You have a legit reason for using an AV. While the risk of malicious stuff downloaded from the high seas affecting you is lower, it’s still good to conduct due diligence that they don’t sit on your machine and spread anywhere else. As others mentioned, clamav is a good option.
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
