Good morning,

Linux has no viruses. Why would anyone want an anti-virus then? It is possible to install security tools of course, but those come with your distribution, you don't need to look up for external stuff.


As stated elsewhere, Linux certainly has malware. However, as Linux is often used to provide services to other systems, (e.g. mail, file serving, web serving and so on) it also makes sense for AV software to be installed which can detect viruses targeted at other operating systems.
