There are few Linux viruses, so you probably don’t need anti-virus software.

# Ali potrebujem protivirusni program?

Če ste navajeni uporabljati Windows ali Mac OS, ste verjetno navajeni, da protivirusni se program izvaja ves čas. Protivirusni program se izvaja v ozadju ter nenehno preverja za obstoj računalniških virusov, ki bi lahko našli svojo pot na vaš računalnik in povzročili težave.

Anti-virus software does exist for Linux, but you probably don’t need to use it. Viruses that affect Linux are still very rare. Some argue that this is because Linux is not as widely used as other operating systems, so no one writes viruses for it. Others argue that Linux is intrinsically more secure, and security problems that viruses could make use of are fixed very quickly.

Whatever the reason, Linux viruses are so rare that you don’t really need to worry about them at the moment.

V primeru da želite biti dodatno varni ali želite preveriti za obstoj virusov v datotekah, ki jih pošiljate ljudem, ki uporabljajo Windows in Mac OS, lahko še vedno namestite protivirusni program. Preverite namestilnik programov ali iščite na spletu - na voljo so številni programi.
