Linux lined up as virus target

"Of course we will see more and more attacks on Windows, but Linux will 
be a target because its use is becoming more widespread," said Raimond 
Genes, European president for antivirus at Trend Micro. "It is a stable 
OS, but it's not a secure OS."

Jack Clarke, European product manager at McAfee, said: "In fact it's 
probably easier to write a virus for Linux because it's open source and 
the code is available. So we will be seeing more Linux viruses as the OS 
becomes more common and popular."
