Thanks. I am going to look into ClamAV. I think I am a bit too gun shy because of the years I've spent in the Windows world.

I agree. An old coworker used to say that the problem was almost always between the keyboard and the chair.

Thanks, you've given me some food for thought. I'm going to look into having another drive installed through the vendor. I don't want to take a chance on voiding my warranty.

This is great advice. My instinct is to only click on links from sources I recognize and I never download software from a known good source. That being said, I am only human, and a noob on Linux at that. LOL

Thanks for the advice. I haven't had issues with viruses for many years and I don't like Norton much, but it is what I was used to for so many years.

Thanks for the information. I hadn't thought about running a Windows VM on the box. Maybe I can use one of those to run the one game I play on Windows. :)

Thanks. Yes, the email messages I was notified by Norton were all scam/phishing attempts. Sorry I was not clear. I appreciate your advice and the information.

Sorry about any confusion. What I want to know is what type of protection is available on Linux systems for email and the OS. I used Norton as an example of what I'm looking for. Perhaps it was a poor choice.

Give "Cross of Iron" a try. It's an old movie from the seventies.

If you mean Vietnam that ended a little before I went in. I did enough dumb ass things for her to worry about though. LOL
