Hi I've just installed Ubuntu on to my mum's laptop for her after we had to restore to factory settings and couldn't get windows back. It's looking like we're going to keep Ubuntu on it and I was wondering whether or not to install antivirus on her laptop? We already have a subscription to Panda but their software doesn't work on Linux OS's, so I was hoping to get something cheap if not free if we needed one at all. Thanks for your help!

  • No. There's no need for one unless you're really paranoid. – terdon Apr 23 '15 at 13:39

    see http://askubuntu.com/questions/10373/do-i-need-to-have-antivirus-software-installed – Rinzwind Apr 23 '15 at 13:41
  • I agree with Rinzwind. If you go down that link it talks about clamav that I use all the time and it's free. It is not that I am afraid of getting a virus in my linux installation, but I don't want to pass one on to another system. – Terrance Apr 23 '15 at 13:46
