"By definition" is not quite true. In principle it is possible to
write a virus for Ubuntu, too. It might be considerably harder, most
hackers seem to concentrate on Windows, etc., but none of this can
replace the user's prudence.
No desktop system can be secure against Trojan horses in particular.
