    So far ALL virus are written for Windows. Remember way over 90% of 
all computers run Windows. I have never got a virus for Linux. I have a 
directory full of windows virus that were sent to me by friends.

    Avast just wants to collect money from us. I have the free Avast on 
my wifes computer and they make it a pain to use. Most people pay Avast 
for the nicer stuff.
