Same here, the ‘only’ exe files I download are mods for Assetto Corsa, I’m hoping smart people would spot any malware 😬

A mix of avira and malwarebytes locally, and virustotal if I’m especially sceptical.

I’m using Linux and never really bothered scanning for viruses. Is ClamAV a good start?

ClamAV is good.

You can also run a VM.
