The most viruses or worms I found, are exploiting security holes in the
special wintendo virus pack by M$: IE, OE and the XPeriment...often
nobody knows that a worm runs for weeks on his/her system.
And... I argue that more as 96 % of the win users @ home are using their
system as installed my M$ as a sys admin...no wonder.
For a private Linux user who uses only a GIMP, firefox, evince, Ooo,
thunderbird and some games and with no important data on the disk, there
is no need for special security things, RAID and Co. in times of cheap
DVD burners to secure data.
A good cheap (DSL) router in front, a up2date system with only needed
services running, using secure passwords, secure software, working as
Luser, is the best medicine.

Marcus
