Where it also states:

"There has not yet been a single widespread Linux malware threat of the
type that Microsoft Windows software currently faces; this is commonly
attributed to the malware's lack of root access and fast updates to most
Linux vulnerabilities.

and:

"Linux vulnerability

Like Unix systems, Linux implements a multi-user environment where users
are granted specific privileges and there is some form of access control
implemented. To gain control over a Linux system or cause any serious
consequence to the system itself, the malware would have to gain root
access to the system.[2]

Shane Coursen, a senior technical consultant with Kaspersky Lab noted,
"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."[3]

SecurityFocus's Scott Granneman stated,

...some Linux machines definitely need anti-virus software. Samba
or NFS servers, for instance, may store documents in undocumented,
vulnerable Microsoft formats, such as Word and Excel, that contain and
propagate viruses. Linux mail servers should run AV software in order to
neutralize viruses before they show up in the mailboxes of Outlook and
Outlook Express users."[1]

Because they are predominately used on mail servers which may send mail
to computers running other operating systems, Linux virus scanners
generally use definitions for, and scan for, all known viruses for all
computer platforms. For example the open source ClamAV "Detects ...
viruses, worms and trojans, including Microsoft Office macro viruses,
mobile malware, and other threats."[4]"

Oops, you didn't include that. I wonder why?

****ing MS shill.

Of course there hasn't been a widespread malware threat because HARDLY
ANYONE USES LINUX. IDIOT.

Again, very few use Linux so there would be nothing to attack.

Get off your dead ass and onto your dying feet and go to your local big
box store and just look at all of the software on the shelves...99.99%
of it is for Windows & Macs...not linux.
You're so full of lies its amazing you haven't struck by lighting for lying!

Of course not, Synaptic is the place for Ubuntu software, FREE software.
No need to go to any stinking computer store.

Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzt! Wrong! Course, you don't know anything about Ubuntu
but that won't stop you from making a fool out of yourself.

The main things and the most important things to know about Ubuntu is:

1) The product has been free for years
2) People download the product to test it out
3) 99.99% of the people wipe Ubuntu from their machines within hours or
days
4) Ubuntu after all these years is still on LESS THAN one percent of
the desktops out there.

So that would tell anyone with a brain that maybe, just maybe Ubuntu is
a worthless pile of crap.

Live with it. Start drinking.

the list of windows viruses would be a text file that would be at least
10 mb of size!!!!

the antivirus apps for linux are NOT to protect linux from virses, but
to protect other windows machines when linux working as a file-web-mail
server for windows machines

Keep searching .... you will find more stuff you dont understand
