I haven't heard of a virus made for a Unix-like OS before, but I'm 
wondering if this can be an issue with FreeBSD (or Linux for that
matter).  I'm saying this since they both run on the most common
platform there is today, the PC.  I know most virii were writen for
DOS-like OS's, but it's my impression that the common point between
both machines is the hardware.

Can anyone either clear this for me, or point me in the right direction
for some info?

Thanks!
