That sentence is putting a doubt in peoples minds about Linux being insecure. The quote is below:My response to that post, was "no Linux Viruses in the wild", I wasn't counting proof of concept Viruses. The fact that a virus exists in the laboratory means nothing, a virus, by definition, has to spread. I know of no examples of any Malware spreading from Linux box to Linux box. However, if there are examples of this, I will gladly change "no Linux Viruses" to "not many Linux Viruses". But I won't change it to "tens of thousands of Linux Viruses", because that wouldn't be true, but it is for Windows.</blockquote>
