Can anyone suggest a battle-tested, either paid or open source, GUI-based application or suite that protects against and removes viruses, malware and ransomware.
It should not be bloated and be something known to run on Debian Bookworm. I don't need real-time protection as I only run trusted code.
I'm not even sure such an application exists. Sophos used to have something, but they seem to be focusing on other platforms these days.
I have ClamAV and ClamTK. ClamAV but I get a lot of false positives with PUA enabled.
As an aside, it is pretty hard to continue with the line of someone like DistroTube that says Linux is not affected, when even sharing an infected FAT32 or EXFAT USB key can easily get a worm on Linux that was designed to target Windows users. Would that worm be active on Debian? Would a Ransomware email still do it's work on Linux? Since Linux is slowly growing in adoption, there must be a point where the ramsomware scripters decide to move their attentions to Linux.
Any advice is gratefully accepted.
