| Feb 4, 2012 at 19:51 | comment | added | Aki | Because privilege separation is relatively easy to achieve in a unix-like environment. And because there's less malware existing for these platforms. And because really a few things get started automatically on unix-like systems. It's easier to configure, administer and secure. That's why. Now if everyone starts using a GNU/Linux, you'll get the same problems as on windows, sorta: users are not admins and attackers are smarter than them. | |

| Feb 4, 2012 at 10:47 | comment | added | Mat | en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_malware - there's been viruses/worms for Unix since a very long time ago (search for "morris worm"). There are antivirus/anti-malware/rootlkit detection software for Linux (and others). I'm not sure I understand what your question is. | |
