• Antivirus recommendations

  With Windows Subsystem for Linux becoming more popular its becoming smarter to think about an AV on Linux, clamav.net is what I use, its awesome, lightweight, runs in a docker container too so its super easy to setup... Just dont forget to setup scanning on a regular basis or it'll be of no use at all. Source: over 2 years ago
