@LeoKirke You probably don't have to worry about anti-virus.
It does exist, but Linux boxes are rarely malware targets, and most distros have decent built in security if you stick to the built in package manager.
Happy to field questions if you've got 'em.

@ajroach42 @LeoKirke If you run Update Manager it'll check for updates, and you can apply them from there. (Click the little shield on the right side of the bottom toolbar and that should launch it.) I *think* I got it configured to auto-update for you, but it's worth checking. (Within Update Manager go to Edit -> Preferences -> Automation and poke around in there.)
