Windows viruses don't work in Linux

  • If you get e-mail with virus attachment — you can't click and run it.
  • If you browse websites, no spyware could be installed by your browser.
  • If you get MS Office document with virus from somethere, you can't execute the virus.
  • Linux and it's applications don't understand virus code for Windows™.

Does this mean that no viruses exist for Linux at all?

No. Microsoft-related people will tell you about tens of terrible Linux viruses. But what's really interesting, you hardly can read or hear something about neither attacks nor epidemics related to even one of such viruses.

If you don't work as superuser ("root") in your Linux system, getting access to your system is almost impossible for virus. Linux system is extremely stable and reliable. Problem with viruses will be absolutely the least problem you will face to in Linux.
