A recent post by Ramnarayan on Malware on Linux got me thinking about this.
I do have a running Firewall (ufw with Gufw) but do not have an Antivirus or Security Suite. Even the firewall has just one rule to allow incoming torrent clients on a specific port. Other than this there is no other security. And i frequently use a Pendrive to copy files from and to heavily infected Win Machines. I know they are infected because I delete a lot of exe files and auto inf files from the pendrive when i connect it to Ubuntu. I have a separate partition that contains my data, music, photos etc that is NOT Auto mounted on login. I do not run any code that i am unsure of what it does. What about you guys. How many of you use a Comprehensive security suite or Antivirus, antispyware or malware programs? What other procedures do you use to keep safe? Regards Narendra Diwate
