    Are there malware scanners for Unix/Linux or Ubuntu or similar? Also software firewall?

    and IPTables are the firewall solutions.
    I use neither so I can't help with any questions on usage.

    Ubuntu uses ufw for a simple firewall.

    There's ClamAV for anti-virus. There is no anti-malware really.
