I don't know how to point this out gently, so I'll be blunt. Malware is a problem which affects exactly and only proprietary platforms. There is not a single piece of FreeBSD or Linux malware out there in the wild, nor is there likely to be any time soon. If malware is a concern to you, keep that fact firmly in mind.
