Hi Thamil

You dont need an antivirus on Qubes OS, but what you can do is, you can change your DNS with 9.9.9.9
https://www.quad9.net/ and block malicous websites like phishing sites and co.

If you use browser like Mozilla Firefox or the mail application like Thunderbird, this applications use the sandboxing technologie, which protect your machine too.

If you wanna have additional protection in your Firefox Browser, you can install the

  • Emsisoft Browser Protection
  • uBlock Origin from Raymond Hill

If you wanna protect all your devices at home in the network, you can use also a firewall like

  • Firewalla
  • PFsense (with Snort)
  • Bitdefender Box
  • Trend Micro Home Network Security Device
  • Asus Router with AiProtection (TrendMicro)
  • Netgear Router with Armor (Bitdefender)

What all this solutions are doing is, they check your DNS connections and block bad malicious sites and connections (botnet, phishing…), which give you an additional protection layer. From the other threats, you are protected with the sandboxing and vm concept and technologies.

let me know if you have any further questions - cheers
