Could anyone here, honest, as we all are I know, guarantee at 100% that
the OP won't ever have any virus issue on his Debian system ?
No.
Should he fear viruses as much as on a Windows system ?
Certainly not.
Security relies first on common sense. Is it common sense to rely on the
hackers laziness to attack Linux because it would maybe eventually be
unattractive ?
Certainly not.
Does run a AV from time to time on his computer will harm the OP or his
machine ?
Unless he does it manually with a hammer and a saw.. I don't think so.
So should you (the OP) run an AV ?
Well.. I guess. IMVHO ;)
Kind regards,
