What has always amazed me is how fast these virus detection companies have a 
fix before the virus can do any damage or sometimes before it's execution 
date.  Sometime I wonder if it isn't them deploying the viruses to keep 
themselves in business.

As to Linux I am sure there are possibilities but they are patched and thus 
the virus companies wouldn't make any money off of them.
