No need for antivirus? Are you serious? Everyone needs antivirus.
Whether they are running Windows/Mac or Linux. The more popular an OS
gets (and Ubuntu is a big reason why Linux is getting more popular) the
more those OS's will be targeted by virus makers. Sure, the OS is more
locked down, but it's not impervious to viruses. Telling people they
don't need an antivirus when trying to get them to use linux is just
setting them up to get bit.
