Ok so say I were to download some pictures, audio files from sound cloud, a few torrents, and other random articles.
How do I ensure these are malware free and can I scan the files before downloading them?

I only know of the pic I posted as the go to file scanner.
Are there fully libre options for removing malicious files? Preferably something I can run from a usb drive.

You named linux. Get any distro to download said files and pass clamav over your files, as to scan for windows viruses so you can then pass your files to your windows computer.

Well, then you could use clamav anyway so you have peace of mind. Get the clamtk frontend. If you feel like having extra security, learn to use firejail.

Oh, and also there is Firetools so you won't need to learn anything, just use the GUI.

Ok I got calmav and I will be checking out Firetools and firejail. Thanks.
