It's your prerogative. What do you mean by anti-malware. If you mean the same as anti-virus, than no I don't want it. Anti-virus software has significant performance costs, risks of being an entry point for attack by malware itself and may cause problems when there are false positives. And it doesn't really work. You'd need to go to a white list or signed code system. Those also have costs, but at least in theory they work. If by anti-malware you are encompassing things such as selinux, sandboxing and firewalls, then use some of that has more benefit than cost. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
