Viruses are no longer much of an issue, malware is... I remember when the Mac Air was release Apple took it to a conference and asked the audience to hack it. The audience failed. Then one person asked them to visit their website and had total control within 2 seconds.
You can use a computer to act as inbetween client and server and sniff everything that passes between them.
You can connect hardware keyloggers.
Linux Web servers are hacked all the time. Admins have to constantly patch them to keep ppl out. And you have to know your stuff to make them secure in the first place.
Windows security has been non existent by design although MS are trying to reverse that and adopt the linux model. XP doesn't really do security you have to bodge it.
