How Linux platform is virus free?

Answer:
It isn't virus free.
It is, however, extremely rare for Linxu to get a virus, due to a very low statistical record of in-the-wild malware (30) for it.

The reasons for this could be less popularity on the desktop, the high degree of technical users it has who would be all too effective at stopping a virus before it starts, it's effective security models, up to and including SELinux.
