[QUOTE="DarkestRitual, post: 1037699, member: 96273"] It's because a virus is defined as a self replicating program, and on any unix based system to get any sort of malware infection you'd have to put in your admin password to install it. Thus you cannot get malware without you installing it yourself. If you stick to legal programs and reputable freeware, then you're fine. [/QUOTE]
