There seem to be a lot of misconception in the industry that Linux is virus free. This gets even more highlighted due to the bad press surrounding MS Windows. I use both Linux (Fedora) & Windows and I would say Windows gets large chunk of viruses due to its market share and not because of its underlining code. Linux can be just as vulnerable as other operating systems, so please, have your preventive measures in place and drop the virus free environment.
