Question #78218 on Ubuntu changed:
https://answers.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/78218

leoquant proposed the following answer:
The firewall is iptables. It is installed but not active. Frontends to enable iptables are ufw, gufw.
If you are running a desktop environment, it is not directly needed to enable iptables, because ubuntu comes with a zero open ports policy.
A antivirus program is not needed on linux, because there no active, and relevant linuxvirus(es) known at the moment.
