There are no "wild" viruses for Linux, and spyware is not an issue
given that software is not ever installed without your knowledge,
providing you use common sense (use vendor packages, build from

That's not so say this will not ever change, but it certainly hasn't
been a problem to date.  I certainly don't lose sleep over it.
