Good suggestion, but in my opinion someone asking what virus scanner to use wouldn’t have enough knowledge to use a Linux distro on daily basis^^

Ya it depends what you mean with hard, people who used MS all their life, and only use their pc to read emails browse the net may find Linux to hard to understand, because they just want things to work outside of the box
