whose create images in the horizon, we are facing some sayings, more hoaxes-like , about the nature of viruses. And focused in *nixs Systems, theres a lot of people, related to anti-virus companies claiming for the use for his products for these kind of systems. And the strategy is the old-one prophecy "In people's minds, if it's non-Windows, it's secure, and that's not the case. They think nobody writes malware for Linux or Mac OS X. But that's not necessarily true ..." or "The growth in Linux malware is simply due to its increasing popularity, particularly as a desktop operating system ... The use of an operating system is directly correlated to the interest by the malware writers to develop malware for that OS."
I've been searching for some information about this question, and IMHO there's nothing to be afraid for that! .I mean, your are using these kind of systems ( put any reason here ), and you have learned that is your responsibility get the knowledge about securying, administrating and defending your system, right?. Even for those who doesn't want to read HOw-To's, FAQ's , manuals, forums, user-groups etc, it's not painful , or not to much keep the system safe and stable!
At the moment, we are not in crisis. What we specting from the warning about viruses for all OS's?well, not all the users get involved, it's focused on that kind of people who doesn't want to learn how to use Internet /live in web. If you're those kind of people who believes that yelling others ( tech services , etc), you will get an answer or solve the problem, my advice is ......keep using the proprietary OS's ( Redmond or Cupertino , its your choice) they made their systems a lot easier and ...it's for non-geeks,non-savvy, non-weirdo , if you just want to use it to write documents , to watch youtube and stuffs like that, don't shoot the feet yourself.
About the malware, viruses, trojans ....you can try it, it's hard but you can. In comparison with the proprietary systems, you have a lot of options not only one window system, you get the option to use the file system you like, or take any other if you want to test it, many browsers , a lot of desktop applications, and the crown's jewel ....a *nix architecture. If you pretend that theres is easy way to create a virus/malware/trojan for *nixs system's, something like "the easy five steps to make a virus for **nix" that;s not true at all. The simple user should be an asshole or stupid to fall in the trick. I'm not gonna underestimate no one but that is not happening even when there's challenges and prizes, no one it's showing code or evidence in other way.
Don't worry about the fact that desktops are including autorun, automount or any other fancy features .....from the moment fear, uncertainty and doubt is not in our side.
