Popularity is a non-issue with free software, it's a side-effect, and 
there's enough diversity in the Gnu/Linux world to offer resistance.

It's about liberty, which comes with responsabilities. Viruses spreads
easily with proprietary softwares. A decent solution is to use free 
software, not anti-whatever softwares. The logic of industrial war is 
inneficient because the causes remains and the problems are amplified. 
Besides, virus protection companies needs viruses to stay in business...
