I have different feelings about Windows AV than I do about mandatory access controls like SELinux.

We ship a small terminal emulator internally to clients. We do not pay the Microsoft tax to have them sign it. As a result, Defender yells at everyone that it might not be safe. Why? Because we didn't pay the tax. Not because its safer to use signed software; it isn't.

A lot of people say that you don't need #antivirus or #malware scanners on #Linux, because 'everything you need is in the repo', but when I hear stories about games being sold on #Steam that contain actual malware, it makes me wonder.

(And yes, I did manage to get a #Microslop Windows virus to execute in #WINE on a Linux VM install once, so it *is* a problem.)

Steam games abused to deliver malware once again

A cybercriminal managed to insert malicious files leading to info stealers in a pre-release of a game on the Steam platform

I'm curious if anyone has recommendations for antivirus/antimalware software? I've been using Bitdefender and feel like it does a good job, but am considering an alternative after finding interactions with their payment partner to be very unpleasant and anti-consumer. (And yes, I know AV isn't really necessary nowadays. I have it for peace of mind as much as anything.) #antivirus #cybersecurity
