    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.

      NOTE the keyword -- IF you install it.
        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.
