[OT]: yet another linux antivirus fairytale



Hi,

an italian newspaper has published an article about security risks and virus related issues on mac osx and obviously linux is cited.
http://www.ilfattoquotidiano.it/2012/04/12/sicuri-frottole/

In the article the author states: "[...] First myth: There are no viruses for Mac. In the mythology of fans,  the "Big Apple" operating system would be so solid that it can not be broken. False: Any operating system is vulnerable to viruses. Linux users are so well aware about that they use security software. [...]"

Another quote: "[...] the only Mac immune to viruses, ironically, are those who have installed Microsoft software such as Word and Excel. [...]"

regards
-raffaele
