    Because Linux and unix are the OS which don't allow .exe files to run in their OS. Virus are always executable so they can't enter.

    Abid,
    Lohit is right..exe file wont run in linux.One of my friend has got both Linux and Windows in the system.So whenever he puts a pendrive in the system, he will use linux so that .exe cant work and no virus enters.
    If my information is correct, i think a software is needed to run .exe file of windows in linux

    I have a doubt does any body have proof that virus has only .exe extension. I don't think so , Virus can be in any form . Hoax,Malware & etc doesn't need EXE Extension.

    yes, linux is a virus proof OS.Its really nice. But drawback of this OS is we cannot access exe file.As in most of works these files are accessed. In this linux we no need to install audio and video drives. they are already will be in that package.

    Slow and Steady Wins the Race.
