Does slow internet = virus load ?

(1/3) > >>

fohat.digs:
My internet has slowed down dramatically in the last few days. I am on AT&T fiber and use Linux Mint OS.

During the decades I used Windows there were numerous free (and very easy to use) virus checkers. Are there any for Linux that are free and easy?

Thanks!

Interesting. . .

Well the virus can't infect all your devices all at once,  try the other devices, if they're just as slow, it's not a virus.

noisyturtle:
Probably the FBI throttling your connection to monitor your data

Check ClamAV. Linux is generally safe, but it doesn’t hurt to have some protection. You might also want to try rkhunter for rootkit checks.
