ZenWiz,
Please, show me one!
There are so many claims of viruses for Linux but I never saw one  and 
I'm working with Unix since 1978 and with Linux since 1992. Of course 
there are methods to enter Unix/Linux systems but gain access to root - 
which is a necessity for doing serious damage - is IMO only possible due 
to neglect by the owner (e.g. using root as his main user).
Even planting malware like key-grabbers can only be achieved when Linux 
users are careless or help from the inside is given. But correct me if 
I'm wrong.
