Is the "system" just the Linux bit, or does this include the filesystems (including Windows) which the Linux systems use and access when running on, say, a dual boot system. My Linux system detected a virus on an accessible filesystem, but this was a Windows virus which was a result of Windows specific malware. Sorry, but the survey question is probably too vague and meaningless to be useful. Linux systems are specifically designed not to work in isolation, so what is included and what is excluded, and did the question make these boundaries clear ?
