I know that Linux is more secure than Windows and normally doesn’t need an antivirus, but know myself I’m gonna end up downloading something at some point from somewhere on the internet, and it would be good to be prepared. So, which antivirus would you recommend for Linux (Mint specifically) just to double up on security?
Old AV did. Modern AV (like, the last 10+ years) is behavioral. They still scan for signatures too, but they primarily work by analyzing software’s behavior for known or unusual techniques.
I’d be curious to rewrite some of the malware we made in class and see if AVs would pick it up now.
Most of them didn’t make any network calls etc. they would just mess with your files and system Things like Set background to Justin-Bieber, play Justin-Bieber randomly, we were very mature
