You don't need one with Linux.

What "antivirus"? If it installs one, let it run; if not don't sweat it.
I've been at this for five years - currently have five home computers and
nine more at the local library. I've not done a thing about "antivirus"
and never had a problem.

That's a highly peculiar Linux version number. It doesn't fit
either the kernel nor any Ubuntu version.

Using anti-virus software on a Linux system is pretty unconventional,
and probably unnecessary.

Temporarily use a wired connection.

A Freudian slip is when you say one thing but mean your mother.

No it isn't. The letters 'before' spell BEFORE. The character
sequence 'b4!' does not.
