In 2003, there were:Windows is secure.. or at least I think it is *looks round shoulder*
60,000 known viruses for Windows.
40 known viruses for Mac.
40 known viruses for Linux.
5 known viruses for Unix.
(Source)
That was in 2003, Linux and Mac can fix the problems very quickly so more than likely those 40 no longer infect Linux and Mac computers, but there are others today, I have read somewhere that there are 5 viruses for Mac as of 2008 and about 10 for Linux. That, I cannot find any source though so I don't know how accurate, or true that is. I also read that there are over 130,000 for Windows now. Again, could be false information. But it is true, Windows is insecure. That's why you need programs to get ride of malware and things of that nature.
