Why window is infected from viruses not unix?
That is not really a true statement; any operating system is capable of being infected by viruses,worms, etc. Windows has a much larger base, and is therefore more of a target than Unix.

Has a new influenza virus called Bat Flu been discovered?
Yes, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) just announced on February 27, 2012 that the first influenza virus found that is capable of infecting bats was just discovered in Guatemala in fruit bats. However, at present this is not a threat to humans and is undergoing extensive study to assure that it does not pose a future human health issue. Preliminary studies do indicate that the genes carried in the new virus would be compatible with the genes in human influenza viruses, but the bat virus would have to undergo significant changes to be able to mutate into a new human virus capable of causing human influenza. To reassort and become a threat to humans, it would first require that a third animal be susceptible to infection by both the new virus and a human influenza virus as well. If the third animal catches the new bat flu and would then at the same time be infected by a human influenza virus, then reassortant into a new virus capable of infecting humans could occur. However, it would require that a single cell of the third host animal would be infected simultaneously with the bat flu virus and a human flu virus. If two flu viruses are inside a host cell at the same tme, then the genetic material inside the two viruses could combine to form a new virus capable of infecting humans. This is how H1N1/09 first developed in pigs (see related question below). A link to the CDC site's article on the new bat virus is provided in the related links section of this question.
