My work has several hundred Linux servers. Due to policy/state law, we must have an AV on every server in our datacenters. You can guess how many hits we get on the Linux servers. It’s not only a waste of money, but of CPU cycles as well.
Yep, but it only takes one to ruin your whole day and if scammers know there are large swatches vulnerable they will concentrate more frequently on them.
Better safe than sorry later imho.
Yep. Anti-virus on unix/linux servers is a total waste of time and money. If you can adequately admin unix, and use industry-accepted security procedures and techniques, you will be secure. You just have to pay attention to what you are doing
Windows is not unix/linux.
