Not *precisely* true. There are rootkits and trojans that can affect
Linux, but they're rare and hardly ever found in the wild. If you're
using your Linux computer as a mail server, then you definitely need a
virus detector like ClamAV to detect and eliminate viruses before they
make their way to the mailbox of someone using Windows.

Viruses, trojans, and rootkits are very, very rare for Linux, though.
In general, if your computer is acting like it has a virus, then the
first place to look is your system logs. It's far more likely that
there's a misconfiguration somewhere
