[Perseverando]

So I would no need additional security software if I am using Linux Mint Cinnamon?

[ShadowAce]

I don't use any third-party security and I run Linux exclusively.

I *do* use AdBlock and NoScript on my browser, but nothing like Norton, McAfee, etc.

I've been doing this for 20 years. No issues at all. Not one single event or concern on my computers.

Shadow Ace is 100% correct. I, too, have never used a antivirus app on any Linux distribution. I do enable my firewall. Can’t hurt.

Just wait until you start distrohopping, Then you know you are hooked.
