    Default How is Ubuntu minus antivirus

    I have been using Windows 7 on my laptop before, but I thought it was dead so I installed Ubuntu on my laptop 10. For me, Ubuntu is working very well. Do not open the program, Thunderbird and Open Office. Once you open one of them my machine will go very slowly. But I'm glad it works well. I used to surf the Internet and download music and videos. I came to understand that Linux does not need antivirus. Am I safe while using the Internet

    I do not think you can claim any kind of antivirus for Linux because the virus can affect your system if you use Linux, even if they attack, they do not cause much damage. I did a lot of research on Google and found the best anti-virus for Linux. I saw that AVG was the best for Linux.

    I also run Linux on my desktop for over 2 years. I find no reason to have an antivirus for my system, mainly because I use Linux. It's not too worry, even if you get the virus because it does not affect the system. The chances for viruses to do so is not entirely possible because the risk is very low. As for the virus itself perform the required confidentiality root, only you can give

    Many years that I use Linux and I have no virus protection or other things. You must be smart enough to use it properly. Just to be a smart user, and use your mind and never try to log in as root. I never tried to connect to the root, and I'm sure so far. You can also bring out of your mind and you will be safe. Do not even worry about your system as it is strong enough to prevent the virus from entering your system

    If you download AVG Anti-virus, and if you are Ubuntu users, you require it. Deb to be took. The present Deb edition 7.5.51. Preserve the downloaded documents on your desktop. When you finish downloading, entire you require to do is do the similar set up easy click on it. But there is not much to worry if you can not download anti-virus since no virus can affect your Linux system till you get to the root, and they are permited to occur
