      ClamAV is the OG

        AFAIK, clamAV hunts Window viruses, not Linux malware. The linux equivalent I know of is rkhunter.

      There are plenty if Linux end point protection tools. However, I think the best protection is security patching.

      For personal use I don’t think there is any good malware detection tools. I think you just need to harden your browser and not install random packages from online. Best if you stick with distro repos only.

        Really? I just found enterprise grade e.g. server security tools. Most sites I found were ourdated, where the Linux EndpointSecurity tools were discontinued (even tho the server tools would probably as good as EndpointSecurity)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
