thanks for your reply kevin. one way or other, you can always be counted on. :)

seriously. i know that they are near nil for linux, and more for ms that there
are satisfied ms windows users.

i have seen statistics, but just do not recall where.

a google for '"microsoft" AND "virus" ' hits 35,800,000, in english. were as
'"linux" AND "virus"' only yields  18,500,000.

did find several sites with some interesting info. nothing yet with actual
comparison between the two.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Linux_computer_viruses

did not find a 'list' for ms as above for linux. i guess that there are
just too many of them. :o)

to mess up a linux box, you need to work at it;
to mess up an ms windows box, you just need to *look at* it.
