Best Anti-Virus Software for PC?

Don't get me wrong - I know Linux is more secure, that's why I use it. I don't have AV software installed because I don't need it to check documents I'm sending to Windows users and I don't install random apps without knowing what they are. It's just that it's not true to say that Linux is completely immune, and believing that it is could cause a naive user to install random apps without knowing what they are, thinking that it is entirely safe to do so. It's not.

I it depends on if it came from an official repositories or one that you added manually - that sounds weird

The getdeb site is possibly open to abuse?

Just read a thing in micromart that highlighted this spyware terminator software. You can during the install integrate it with clamav, it also installs web security guard whatever that is? Looks good as it is all free.

Or you could just practice safe computer use, use a secure browser and ensure you patch your software.

Mind you I forget how many malware varients I got last year. Think it was probably about 40 or so.

The thing that irks me that despite catching and submitting first known varients to different Anti X vendors (major players), not one is named after me.
