If Windows was a stand-up comedian

[Moltke]

There are viruses on Macs and Linux, just a lot less and probably not as destructive.

Linux had the Mirai and BashLite virii/malwares that were used for network attacks. Another "popular" one was a passwords stealer.

For Mac's, I had viruses on them when I was in school, they were not even connected to the interweeb.
... Hey, I see you rolling your eyes, I'm not THAT old. Grumble, grumble... now where did I put my teeth.

Cheers!

[member=6733]TheDead[/member]  both Bashlite and Mirai are more focused on IOT -internet of things - devices, they call them "IoT Botnets" I don't know exactly what that means for a desktop pc user in terms of whether it might get infected or not, as far as I read it seems like not, but not really sure. Again, in the past two years or so I haven't experienced any "virus" like scenario whatsoever, while in windows everytime I ran the antivrus/antimalware scan, which I usually did once or twice a month it always found something, yes I ran some AV in LL as well just to be sure, and it found nothing. I guess since I'm not downloading and running .exe files that's the reason the chances of getting infected are really lower, like 0
