Although I'm a great Linux fan, I doubt whether Linux will be much better
than Windows in this respect since most of the new infections are due to
people opening executables in e-mail attachments. Most of the infections
could be avoided if people merely run on limited user accounts instead of
Administrator. I have set up Windows XP in exact such a manner on my parents
computers and there hasn't been an infection since.
