Hey everyone, just joined; great to be here and hope you can offer advice
I'm looking to switch over from Windows to Linux, I'm new to Linux so will be using Ubuntu (I also like it as Ive tried several and happy with this distro). I currently run N360 and want the security of a like product. I know that Linux is more secure and does get really effected by virus attacks, but still does on a smaller level. I'm particularly looking to make sure that the VP/AMW (Virus Protection and Anti-Malware/Phishing etc.) protects in real time, running in the background to protect my system. Any help greatly appreciated
