Welcome to the group. You're in the right place.
I'm not much older at this than you are. At the beginning, because I was coming from the world of MS Windows, I felt anti-virus was a must. I looked into what to use. Learned about clamav and its GUI, clamtk. I played with them initially, but currently, I don't run them. Going forward, if I feel I need a scan, I plan on using www.virustotal.com or maybe Comodo Antivirus for Linux, www.comodo.com.
