Yes, when enabled in your Kernel Configuration and set up properly SELinux SE==Security-Enhanced, it does offer you many security options. A third person program I have also heard to be okay is GRSecurity although I can't give you the specifics, a simple online search will give you the details. I can say that linux/unix gives you more security options than Windows, but its only as powerful as the system administrator is skillful.
No, but Linux is based on Unix since Linux is a Unix clone.
Unix and windows are two separate groups of operating systems. Windows is the operating system of about 90% of personal computers, while unix is the basis of many other operating systems, such as Mac OS X
Linux is an open system, Unix is not.
No. Linux is a free, open-source version of UNIX. Many of DOS's commands were based on UNIX commands, but the underlying operating system is much more powerful than DOS.
None. By default, they share the exact same security model. The Unix security model has worked for over 30 years; there's no reason to change it now.

what are similarities and differences between linux and unix?
Linux and Unix do have their share of malware, though there are fewer of them.
No, it is unix-based but Linux is a kernel not an operating system.Ubuntu,Linux Mint,Debian,and puppy Linux,ect. are OS's that use the Linux kernel.
Because Linux evolved from UNIX, but Windows evolved from DOS.
Importance Of Unix-support multiuser and multitasking.-adaptability and simplicity.-flexible file system.-excellent network environment.-portable.- provide better security.
