it’s so fucking sophisticated and stealthy you may never know it.

Even more reason to install an AV on Linux.

It is the whole point of an AV to prevent malware the user doesn't notice.

Almost every malware tries to be invisible to the user. Because if they aren't, they would be wiped off instantly. This goes for every OS.

    There dont seem to be any particularly effective ones.

    In my experience malwareis just so different in linux tho, like. Malicious udev rules, bpfdoor, that ssh things hears ago that allowed someone to basically eavesdrop on anything that was right there in the code.

    If someone manages to get something malicious running on linux it's a different ballgame from wjndows - theres so much bash everywhere that can be modified to do nasty things.

    Im not saying an antivirus is a bad idea on linux or anything - but there really doesnt seem to be anything decent.

    Clamav seems like the only game in town. And i have nonidea how effective that is anyway
