Quoted from the PCM article.

There are some 3 Linux Virusses known, or better: Trojan Horses.
The chance of getting an infection on a Linux setup is really minimal. The
linux community consists for a large part of highly educated ICT
technicians and engineers that will detect and disable a Trojan very early
and make it's existence known worldwide very fast.
To that, the Open Source development model makes sure that potential
security holes are closed quickly.

A different thing is when you use a Linux box as file- or proxy server, or
when you also actively have a Windows partition on the disk. This is the
setup of many home-users. Because the complete lack of security, windows
is extremely vulnerable for virusses.
