No I included Morris because it proved this statement from you: other operating systems don’t seem to have this problem, to be false. Morris, as a very high profile Unix worm, shows that other OSes DO seem to have this problem. It’s not like Morris was the last Unix malware, it just was the highest profile one.
It’s funny how your number of Windows viruses keeps going up. Hyperbole much?
These are mostly client AV apps, basically the same product they make for Windows only for Linux, not mail server AV.
Linux has nearly a thousand, and the number was half that in 2005. Viruses happen. Viruses happen to everybody. Once again showing that you’re statement was wrong, other OSes do seem to have this problem.
I’m not saying anything about equal, that’s nuancing again. I’m saying that this statement “other operating systems don’t seem to have this problem” is WRONG, other OSes not only SEEM to have this problem, the DO have it. All OSes have malware, period. And you can jump your number from thousands to tens of thousands and even to millions if you want, it doesn’t change the simple fact that Windows is not alone. Your statement was wrong. Now stop nuancing, man up and admit you said something silly.
You're becoming very silly, and even more tiresome.
Morris was over 20 years ago. Name, oh, let's say four Unix viruses since 2000. That's about one for every 10,000 Windows viruses since then.
Viruses. That spread by self-replication. Worms.
Go ahead, name them. Just four, or more if you know of them. That actually affected at least a few thousand machines (Morris affected 6000); laboratory curiosities don't count.
> Linux has nearly a thousand, and the number was half that in 2005.
Where's -that- list? Name it, provide a URL. Or STFU. You have become very silly. Put it up now.
Tonight's my night to get educated on how insecure Unix and Linux are. C'mon.
