I have been saying this for a while, why Linux is not affected by Viruses
This is Nice article which explains: 5 Reasons why Linux is Secure against Viruses than Windows
Summary, from the article:
- User Privileges.
- No Executables.
- No Registry.
- No Internet Explorer (IE)
- Linux is not soo common like windows.
Don’t agree with the last one 
but the rest of them makes sense

Nice website Prakash.
Yes, Linux is safe. I am enjoying using Ubuntu for more than a year and what is amazing is that I don’t need any Anti-virus. Yet I am far safer than my Windows days.
The sad part is that most people in India haven’t even heard of Ubuntu, OpenOffice and some amazing open source programs.
Prakash, do you think giving free copies of this software to cyber cafes or even installing it for people interested, will help in spreading the good word.
Cyber Cafes would love to be free of viruses, Trojans and other malware and hundreds of people will get to know of Linux and open source.
I think this will save our country lots of money.
