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.

Windows Defender is enough. On your web browser you need uBlock origin. This means you need to use Chrome or Firefox as your web browser. *edit: Don’t bother with Chrome. Use Firefox. Someone replied to me with convincing reasons to just skip Chrome altogether.
Edge also supports uBlock Origin, but because it’s Chromium-based it faces the same issues as Chrome regarding Manifest V3.
U can also set Edge to bing as a search engine. Idk if Bing will shut down ad blockers. For me it works fine.
This means you need to use Firefox, Chrome is crippling adblockers.
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.
Funny how it started out as a search tool. It used to be handy, even better than Yahoo! LOL
Don’t worry, that person also left out the part that Google pushed that particular chrome update out indefinitely.

no.
What do you use?
uBlock Origin.
ClamAV
Sophos
Rootkit Hunter
Comodo
ClamTk
F-PROT
Chkrootkitand as far as I’m aware, about 0 of those are preinstalled on major distros, which is what I was answering.
@noodlejetski no distro will pre install a AV… 🤣🤣
