I’m gonna be honest: I’ve been skimping on anti malware since i moved to Linux.
Still keeping up the common sense part about running code you don’t know and running untrusted code and weird URLs in a virtual environment (well, except for the AUR perhaps), but I only scan for malware once or twice a year, if at all.
Actually, I just did a scan with RKHunter which came back clean except for the usual false flags, which I find mildly suspicious as one would imagine there to be some malware with all the small time programmers and script kiddies in the Linux community.
What are you using as anti malware? Anyone knows of good methods for set-and-forget or some good GUIs for easy containment management, scanning, and whitelisting? It can’t be that ClamAV, RKHunter, and chkrootkit are the only halfway decent AVs out there.

It’s not necessary. Unlike on Windows, Linux users rarely download random packages off the internet. We just use package managers.
