[Question] what antivirus to use? eset nod32 for linux not supported anymore.
 
Eset nod32's support is discontinued Q3 2022, this program used to be very good, it had gui and it never crashed and made virusdatabase updates very easy.

now i have to get another antivirus program, it doesnt matter if it is commercial product, like if i have to pay for it, it doesnt matter.

question is what commercial antivirus to use?

it is non-gui one but it is good enuff for me.

I don't use any antivirus on linux at home, so I have no experience with that. Some users will state it is not required at all. But you can decide. We use clamav at the company, but I still have no information about it, just installed.

yeah, i use linux av for scanning the windows partition/ssd, i probably wouldnt need it just for linux.

I think, ClamAV and ClamTK is the best to go for then.
