If you are reading this you are on the Internet, and as such you need Security Software for your computer, the Security Software you should have on your computer is: Firewall plus Anti-Virus at least on your computer.

A router firewall is probably quite sufficient for Linux.
I wonder why M$ don't bother to supply a virus checker - or even prevent them from "infecting" in the first place?

I don't have any AV on my Mac but I don't feel the need to bleat about it on every thread.

I wasn't bleating - or even mentioning - that Linux is fully ready for any user
