Does Linux system need antivirus software? In general, the use of Linux system does not need antivirus software, Linux has many natural characteristics, which determines that there are few malicious programs on the Linux platform, at the same time, the system is open source, the use of Linux system copper leakage is also very few, the virus is difficult to spread quickly. Why not need antivirus?

1. Linux has strict authority control: Linux is one of the most difficult operating systems to be poisoned. Linux, which is similar to unix, well inherits the user management mechanism of Unix. There is a great difference between permission accounts and ordinary accounts. Ordinary users can not access the system directory or install programs within the system scope.

2. Linux system users are more personalized: compared with Windows systems, Linux system accounts for a relatively small share. Linux is absolutely king in the server field, and 93% belongs to Windows in the desktop field. After all, hackers and viruses want to be widely spread, so Linux is not the preferred target of viruses. At the same time, Linux system is also the first choice of server system. Most of the large enterprises and website applications in the world run on Linux system, so operators and service providers pay more attention to the security of servers.

3. Open source features can better fix vulnerabilities: a large number of viruses and malicious programs need system vulnerabilities to spread and cause damage. For the Linux system, the open source feature of Linux enables every user to become a patcher of system vulnerabilities, not only to fix the vulnerabilities themselves, but also to find developers to fix the vulnerability information.
