  • You should avoid using Windows software if possible, there are Ubuntu alternatives for most common software. If you need to use some however, the question this is being closed for explains how you can get some Windows software to work. For your second question see: Do I need to have 'antivirus software' installed? – Warren Hill Jul 25 '14 at 11:47

You can install Windows software using PlayOnLinux. You can check compatibility here. And you don't need any antivirus. Just make sure you install all system updates.

  • PlayOnLinux is not listed for 14.04. And there are enough people who break their Linux' security by following bad advice. So it's not enough to "install all system updates". – Run CMD Jul 25 '14 at 10:56
  • @ClassStacker Current version of Ubuntu isn't listed. The list should be used only when installing on older versions. – nastys Jul 25 '14 at 14:24
