Well as far as I know it is not because Linux is more secure, it is just a matter of time/willingless of some idiot to write one...
Of course, there is no widespread attacks....what is a percentage of linux usage vs. windows? 10% vs. 90%?

What I am trying to say is that if I were to use Linux as my main desktop machine with all the passwords, banking, etc., I would not dismiss Antivirus so lightly. Maybe firewall as well.
