Do you really need AV on linux? Last time i tried to hack any linux system with hacker software such as Metasploit I found Linux extremely robust, with very few vulnerabilities and exploits, all of which I could not get to work. I don't trust MS at all, and would not trust them enough to install this AV. Am I too suspicious? Don
Nope, imho you are not suspicious enough... and pe on Linux is very real, normal users do hectic things, like open attachments from their email accounts, they visit websites allowing java and do all sorts of things some of us would not even think of doing. So, they probably do need some sort of AV, as exploiting their user accounts can probably be done by one of my children (having to actually say children instead of "kids" is crazy by itself...//k1Ddi3S) I am not a gambling person but I would bet dollars to doughnuts that their AV is not going to be fully open source and free. That said, I am a paranoid person - what I lack in gambling addiction I fully make up for in paranoia. So, yeah, no. Not suspicious enough, imnsho :)
