because linux is apparently so superior at not having problems with viruses , or is it a case of no-one bothers to write them as they are all busy playing games of bill gates bashing , the latter i reckon ;)

actually it's fairly easy to write *nix, linux, solaris viruses, there a few around, it's just that the typical malware author wants to affect as many machines as possible and thus targets the MS platforms.

Bin Laden suicide virus (HackArmy strikes again)
 
I dunno if this has been mentioned but...

Similar to the Osama message, don't open the file on the URL you may see with this hoax message either.

"Early this morning Arnold Schwarzenegger was found hanging by his neck from the large oak tree in his Californian garden. In a suicide note found at the scene he tells of his sordid sex life and lack of will to live. A copy of the suicide note which was found by journalists has been included here"

Hmmm... the Trojan Horse called HackArmy strikes again.
