I have default windows defender, but didnt even know its antivirus lol. Is there any antivirus installed by default on any popular linux distro? What do you use?

I feel like antivirus can just annoy me when trying to crack something, but maybe defender protects me and im not aware.

      This person doesn’t seem to know what they’re doing, given the question, so I went for two options. I haven’t been using Chrome. Good call and thanks for correcting me. Google just gets more evil by the day, doesn’t it? I’ll edit my comment. Thanks again.

        Yeah there’s a pretty fundamental conflict of interest in an advertising company controlling most of the world’s browsers.

            Don’t worry, that person also left out the part that Google pushed that particular chrome update out indefinitely.
