Depends on the definition of "YOU" and "virus". For example, if 
Thunderbird automatically ran all attachments with a .exe extension, is 
that "ME"?

Let's not get lost on the definition of virus. I'll happily use the word 
"malware" if you prefer. I'm looking at how Linux addresses security 
threats.

Cheers,
Daniel.
