    When i was a windows person many moons ago i ran into viruses once or twice. Kaspersky was the only av in those days that effectively cleaned them from my system.

    Now i am a linux dude. Where there doesnt really seem to be an effective antivirus solution because, even though malware exists, it’s so fucking sophisticated and stealthy you may never know it.

      it’s so fucking sophisticated and stealthy you may never know it.

      Even more reason to install an AV on Linux.

      It is the whole point of an AV to prevent malware the user doesn’t notice.

      Almost every malware tries to be invisible to the user. Because if they aren’t, they would be wiped off instantly. This goes for every OS.
