I am confused about installing some virus scanning software on my Linux system. Thought of installing clamav, so will that be good or if anyone is using any better one, please do suggest. Thanks in advance.

    Running an antivirus on Linux only addresses a psychosomatic issue, it is of no benefit and produces zero positive results.

      Not true. If its a file server or mail server or something similar you can catch something before other users download it. The detection is always going to be dependent on the signatures but to say it is of no benefit is simply false.
