If you run a computer, then you're gonna have computer viruses.

I use Linux (SuSE 9.3/10.0) and do not run any anti-virus of any kind.

And I use Firefox and get e-mail with kontact. I sometimes download source code from reputable GNU sites.

Do you mean that my computer is de facto infected ?

Do you have the web pages/documents describing in ample details how such a Linux system is de facto infected ?

Thanks for the information !
