Search the mailing list archives:

It has been spelled out numerous times on the list, and I won't repeat
my arguments yet again. Nevertheless you will find people in the answers
to your question who insist that viruses are a real threa on Ubuntu.
They will likely point you to viruses/worms like SB/BadBunny-A being
mentioned on antivirus sites, which they found when googling for "virus
linux", but didn't take the time to read or understand.

Take no heed and read the archived discussions.
