KolibriOS is not affected by viruses at all today, because no viruses exist for KolibriOS right now. Kolibri is not compatible with Windows or Linux, so Windows and Linux viruses will not work in Kolibri. And it's not financially feasible to write virus for KolibriOS because very few people use it :wink:

As far as I know, there are 2 viruses in existence for menuetos, which may or may not be still compatible with KolibriOS.

They were written as a proof of concept and thus are not of the evil kind.

But how hard is it to write a virus especially for Kolibri, no matter it's financially feasible?
