All OSes have viruses, even linux. It's just a matter of time for the virus writers to create one for any "new" OS. Windows has prolific exploits and viruses only because it is itself prolific. If Linux were as widely used, you'd see more linux viruses. |
I've heard this many times, but I still don't agree with it. I think that windows has most of it's problems due to design, i.e. a single user OS being shoehorned into a multiuser role. That and poor security out of the box. Who the hell makes all users default to root (er, administrator) on creation? Really, it's just a bad design.
But yea, any OS is vulnerable, because with some people, you can't fix stupidity.
