Probably. I use ClamAV on my apps flash drive and doubt there are two with the same name.

I was merely pointing out that Linux is a more secure operating system than Windows.
I agree that Linux is more secure for the reasons stated in the posts above but it's not immune. As for the "open source" software that is available for Linux, in most cases the same open source software is available for Windows. The issue is warez that have the added factor of malware and you can bet those Windows users that are getting infected are not getting infected from downloading open source software. Apples and oranges.
