We all know that Windows Operating System Codes are not visible to users and Linux Operating System Codes are visible to users. In other words Linux Operating Systems are open source and Windows are not Open Source. Most virus will conceal themselves in Windows Operating System. But in Linux virus can’t lurk into the system or drive. So we can easily spot the virus and we can delete. In Windows, we use Antivirus software’s to exclude Viruses. Even-though using antivirus, still some virus lurks inside the system. Many of us anticipating antivirus can demolish virus, but it is not true. Antivirus is only for prevention, and not for curing 100% after infection. 100’s of virus are created daily, for which solutions cannot be 100% even for the World no.1 antivirus producers. For example the virus “Stuxnet”, no solutions have been found out till now. So be safe always.
