Comment on Privacy friendly Ubuntu antivirus ?
whale@lemm.ee 8 months agoTrue, but like you said, on a per user basis. The typical desktop user isn’t going to have a clue about a text-based interface, unless they vaguely remember DOS or a room sized computer back in college that used the same terminal conventions that Linux still uses today

Sounds like you’ve got a better solution, but I think you forgot to mention what it was.

I wish! Recommending ClamAV to clueless friends/family seems like an okay solution, but then again they tend to not install software at all, and the greatest danger that might befall them is a well crafted phishing ad.

If you think ClamAV on your mom’s laptop on Starbucks WiFi is doing anything useful, but you think fail2 ban isn’t - you’re naive.
On phishing - you’ve got another great example. ublock origin or any other decent adblocker will do WAAAAY more to help than ClamAV.
