      Clamav is pretty good if all you’re wanting to do is scan the files you’ve downloaded so that you’re not potentially re-transmitting viruses.

      Outside of that, maybe consider using SELinux for security, or possibly if you’re going to be doing risky downloads, do it on a virtual machine, on a virtual network.

        I’m trying Clamav but its giving me (at least what i think is) a bunch of false positives. I’ll look into SElinux.

      Containerize or Virtualize whatever you plan to run, keep it volatile, otherwise you’ll have a host operating system riddled with unnecessary data.
