Of course you do know of the recent exploits found for Mozilla, aren't you, Brian? What's this "No antivirus needed" I hear about for Linux?
First of all, that's not a Linux virus, or a Linux anything. It's a fault in the browser and affects Windows just as much as Linux.
Secondly, it's not a virus. No amount of Linux or Windows anti-virus software will protect you against it. It requires a patch to the browser, which is likely to happen much quicker from Mozilla than it would from Microsoft (who would no doubt have kept the information quiet in the hopes that they could just ignore it, until it eventually leaked to the press and they had to do something about it pronto).
