Is there a reliable anti-virus / internet security suite for the Zorin OS?
I am a new user and am trying to learn. So I appreciate any help you can give me or point me in the right direction. Thanks

Basically you need firewall enabled - it is off by default, and then make some tweaks:

and the free clam av:

viewtopic.php?f=5&t=7347&hilit=+clam

Just be aware there is a bug n respect of getting updates to the front end which is not needed (to be updated).

Plus basic precautions:

Also download the Manual for Zorin 9 and checkout the 'privacy' section. ;) :D
