Botnets: Storm, Rbot, and Bobax - How to Beat Them
,----[ Quote ]
| Install Linux on your computer today and all that will disappear. Linux
| doesn’t have botnets. Linux doesn’t have viruses (only a few known and you
| have to actually type a command to start the virus running). Linux has no
| spyware. If you’re just getting your start, I recommend PCLinuxOS,
| SimplyMEPIS, and Ubuntu

Of course, with the exception of specialised programs, the Linux programs are
better anyway, so Wine is just a nice complement.
