[CS-FSLUG] No Virus Protection for 64-bit Windows

["國產 Wei-Yee Chan (Made in Chinar)"]

No, I'm quite certain that your not just lucky. :-)  Like U, I've got
F-prot Antivirus installed on my Fedora Core 3 based linux system, just
in case, and I've never caught a single virus.  This is despite the fact
that I'm receiving all my emails on this particular computer.  I should
think that it has a lot to do with the design of the operating system,
and Linux was designed with security in mind.

In fact, AVG didn't find anything when I did an initial scan, despite the fact that I had been using the internet and doing all those normative things that most computer users (that is, non-gamers) do. Have I just been lucky? I have to wonder.
