Anti-Virus again... F-PROT anyone? Why I need one

[Moltke]

[member=10244]alcanz[/member] I think the total AV thing is a waste of time and resources, at least in Linux and I'd say even in Windows; in the end you really never know where that virus/malware came from, they're developing hundreds by day so can they assure us that their AV product will keep us safe? I don't think so , I'd rather put that wasted and valuable RAM and CPU cycles into good use before installing any AV. I used to use 1 AV and 1 AM in Windows and still there was always something.

You could try firejail instead

a SUID program that reduces the risk of security breaches by restricting the running environment of untrusted applications using Linux namespaces and seccomp-bpf. It allows a process and all its descendants to have their own private view of the globally shared kernel resources, such as the network stack, process table, mount table.

In case you decide to try it, open a terminal and type

Code:

sudo apt-get install firetools

download size is only 531kb.
