Public bug reported: The idea that linux is immune to malware is a false sense of security. Prevention is the best solution. I know users are safe if they only install software from the Software Center, but users could download a malicious .deb file. Firefox could automatically download a malicious java script file. Malware could trick a user into entering their root password. I know AV affects performance. It could automatically only scan files and repositories added to the system. A scheduled system scan could be optional.
