        Well…more a placebo, Still without an AV for Linux that deserves this name. The only protection for Linux was, that almost all Virus was made for Windows, giving a false security feeling, but this is changing quickly since some years.

        An OS inmune to malware don’t exist, it’s only the question which is most the target of attackers, no other things. The only advantage is, Linux is easy and free to replace (if you notice an Virus, not always the case), but data, archives and documents are always exposed, independent of the OS (Root kits, spyware, …)
