Linux doesn't have any greater anti-virus software than windows, the system is just inherently safer as it was built as a multi user environment which could keep users data and system files safe from the actions of other users. Where as windows was not built for a multi user environment and had the feature thrust upon it at a later date. It wasnt built with networking in mind either. In the early versions of windows they didn't even come with an IP stack. One had to be installed from a third party. These things together mean Windows just isn't fundamentally built for what its used for today. The best thing Microsoft could do at this point is rewrite it. Give it a proper safe foundation on which to build on. With a proper safe file system to match. When they do this, the impact of internet security threats will be greatly reduced.
