Hi, I really dont understand the
attitude of attack when somebody posts something like this. Not
everybody is competant in using Ubuntu, and not everybody
understands the risks involved especially considering for years
its been pushed as a safe OS. All i have done is post this to the
group, I dont appreciate this attitude. It doesnt give Ubuntu a
good light when people see this.

Unless you NEVER use the OFFICIAL REPO and are totally
careless with your system then there's a VERY high chance you
could infect your system with ANY virus.
I like the way he also goes on about it must mean that
Linux must becoming a popular OS. and that Window$ gets hacked
too. If hacking was THAT bad, Window$ would be no more. But
it's STILL here, but do you notice there are virtually NO
hacks reported or otherwise on Win95 or higher up to 200 and
probably dying out on the XP as there's Vista, 7 and 8 to
attack now.
