A Linux Virus refers to viruses or malware that can affect the Linux operating system.[1] While many users think that Linux systems are completely safe from malicious software, they are no safer than any other operating system. Linux has a full range of malware: viruses, worms and Trojan Horses. Because Apple computers can act as an asymptomatic carrier, Mac users can inadvertently pass infected files on to Linux users.
