Some of you have been shilling AV products here for years.
Heaven forbid Microsoft become virus resistant for fear that
you would all commit suicide like a bunch of lemmings.

How would Microsoft become virus resistant?

One of the latest infections is served up by Linux web servers exploiting a
Javascript flaw in Adobe Acrobat. So, it's not just Windows.

You posted that same information in another post last evening in
alt.comp.virus group.
Message-ID: <hjiuoi$ctd$1(a)news.eternal-september.org>

"However, I just picked up malware (a variant of Antivirus 2010) via a
Linux hosted website. It was a Javascript embedded in a PDF file."

Please explain why you think this is a Linux problem or vulnerability?
Wouldn't you think the answer to the "infected PDF" would be to stop
using Windows Adobe Reader and replace it with something not affected? A
bit of googling also suggests that the Adobe vulnerability was fixed in
late 2008.

You could also uninstall Adobe Reader and try FoxItReader v 3.

Linux has nothing to do with this problem.
