8.4.9. Viruses

And now something not to worry about. Viruses seem to be primarily a Microsoft problem. For various

reasons, viruses are not a significant threat to Linux users. This is not to say that it will always be this way,

but the current virus explosion that plagues Microsoft systems, can not spread to Linux (or Unix) based

systems. In fact, the various methods and practices that enable this phenomena, are not exploitable on Linux.

So Anti−Virus software is not recommended as part of our arsenal. At least for the time being with Linux

only networks.
