I just came across this site -> http://www.avp.ru/products.html?tgroup=4&pgroup=11 amongst the text on that page is 'new viruses _for_ Linux appear every day'.

Are there any viruses for linux? If so how many? Surely they don't appear every day!

I am writing a basic sales brochure for small business to implement linux solutions and was asked about viruses on linux. Every other site I have been to has virus scanners that check the mail passing through and/or the files stored on the box, no other site has even mentioned viruses FOR linux.

Are Kaspersky just full of male cow excrement trying make a sale? I know they are Russian so they can say anything and get away with it.
