False sense of security? I have been using Linux for 5 years now, with zero
protection, and I haven't had one instance of virii, trojans, spyware, or
any of the other stuff you've mentioned. Sure there isn't any OS that is
100% safe, but for the most part, Linux is pretty darn secure. If you're
that worried about security why do you even run Linux? Why not run a
hardened OpenBSD?
