Let's face it: You're trolling. I think most linux users are far more aware of the state of security on their box than Windows users. They know that their boxes can have security holes.

Let's face it: Most users of proprietary software are in a deluded state of mind when they ignoranyly believe is already secure.

By the way, there is no such state as "secure". There is only "secure enough" for a given set of circumstances, and the circumstances are always changing.

Security is an ongoing process, not a state of being.
