Q I’m thinking of trying out Linux, but I can’t seem to find any information on anti-spyware programs for that operating system.
Do you know where I can find such software?
I am prepared to pay for them as it’s not worth the risk otherwise, based on my experience with Windows.

A You’ll be pleased to hear that there’s a good reason why it’s so hard to find an anti-spyware program for Linux: the threat from spyware is far smaller when using Linux than when using Windows.
