Okay, I will confess - "Linux distros are NOT VIRUS(malware) prone". But that need not mean - "Linux distros don't get viruses(or malwares) at all". They might get affected by viruses(or malwares) - Ubuntu included. But there isn't many questions on Ask Ubuntu about Anti Virus softwares for Ubuntu(This one just talks about the 'Viruses' and not about 'Anti virus Software'). So here is my question: Shouldn't we have a software-recommendation question on various Anti virus softwares as we have for Application indicators, Backup tools, DEs and sheels and the like?

Though we don't necessarily need an Anti virus software for Linux distros(Ubuntu included), we need to take into account every eventuality, one of those eventualities being 'A virus(or malware) affected Ubuntu'. So to have the question or not? Need some community consensus.
