Well, sort of running on with that theme.  It has been established
that, at present, there are no virii to worry about with Linux.  I
disagree.  The virii that are out there will not affect a Linux box as
such but it will make the whole internet experience a damn lot slower.
 Every virus or more worm that is sent from a PC - Windows box - takes
up bandwidth on the web as a whole.  This slows down traffic and thus
does indeed have an effect on a Linux PC.
