    I'm posting this against my better judgement so I'm removing my +1. I can't tell if you're being serious or trolling.
    How come? BSD can't get viruses.
    1. Any operating system can get viruses. How the OS is designed and the installation configured to combat the spread of the virus is what makes BSD / UNIX / Linux based platforms undesireable targets for viral attack.
    2. BSD OSs are often used as production mail servers for small to large installations, including, more often than not, a majority of Windows clients. Sophos, IIRC, has the ability to scan mail and/or mail spools to detect and prevent the spread of these viruses to client machines.
