Why Are There No Virus Attacks in Linux?
Contents

There has not been a single widespread Linux virus or malware infection of the type that is common on Microsoft Windows; this is attributable generally to the malware’s lack of root access and fast updates to most Linux vulnerabilities.

Does Linux have no viruses?

1 – Linux is invulnerable and virus-free.
