Linux operating systems are well protected, but not immune to viruses, and can still be afflicted by rootkits and trojans.
'Kaiten' and 'rexob' are the names of two Linux trojans.
'Brundle', 'Nuxbee' and 'VIT' are just three Linux viruses.

Virus free is not true at all. However, virus writers have a harder time in a linux environment. and linux distros don't run as admin/root by default .
Virus makers do not see Linux or OSX as a worthy virus platform. Since the majority of people use a PC, that is their target audience.
Most people who write virus's target the windows OS they just don't bother with Linux. Usually anyone who can use Linux wont find any difficulty in removing virus's, so theres no point in sending them a virus.
Linux and Unix do have their share of malware, though there are fewer of them.
In simple terms: Linux is an operating system. A virus is a malicious application that infects and attempts to damage or altar system files in a computer/operating system. You can get a virus in Linux, yes, as with any operating system but no Linux itself is not a virus. Just make sure anything you use is from a trusted source.

Linux is pretty good at Virus protection by itself. But you can get ClamAv, or any of the big name Anti-Virus programs for it.

Yes. Linus is well protected, but not immune to malware.
I personally use Avast but really it is not needed in Linux as you can't get infected with the M$ viruses ----- Panda Software has a free edition of it's Antivirus which runs on Linux.
