This is wasteful and even unsafe; unsafe because only accessed files are scanned. Wasteful because a file is scanned every time it is accessed, repeatedly, which is slow. I don't do that even when I use windows.
Unsafe? I want to protect my machine from files that I'm using. Personally, I don't care about the files I'm not using.
And not needed in Linux because linux doesn't need this protection: it is only needed for windows.
It isn't needed in Linux *today*, maybe, but again, it makes sense to plan ahead. If we want people to adopt Linux, we have to not tell them "so this thing you did with Windows automatically? You need to do it manually now. Sorry about that, but that's just the way it is." That's a good way to turn people off of Linux.
