Malware Detection

[Sojourn71]

I know people say malware isn't as big an issue on Linux (something I'm QUITE thankful for!), but I do have a couple of
expensive SSD's that I need to rule out in terms of having any malware on them. Any suggestions?
And if the best answer is to run more than one tool, I'm fine with that!

Welcome to the Forum.

The best thing to do is nothing...Linux isn't windoze.

Malware can't install on your system without your permission...maybe take a look at this...

Stick to your distro's official repositories (except the AUR) and only use third-party repositories you absolutely trust. PPAs are especially risky. But good practices (like the above advice and keeping your OS updated) are sufficient to keep your OS safe.
