you can get SuSe Linux for about 10 or 15 bucks in a store with an install cd on you can download it free from the web.
With suse linux you can partition your hard drive to be half Microshit and half Linux so you can give it a try and you still have your old Microshit if you need it.
and their are other versions of Linux too.
I went with Linux for the same reason you mentioned - virus horseshit just gets to be too much. Now I like Linux a lot better than Microshit. Hardly ever use Microshit now, just some apps not on Linux or I can't find them.
give it a try, alot more stable than Microshit, and no virus crap.

Speaking as someone who takes care of linux boxes for a living, linux isn't ready for the desktop. No matter what the /. crowd says. Buy a mac. You'll love it. With OSX you get the power and stability of UNIX, and all of the productivity apps you use. Photoshop, flash, whatever else. Sure you can do
all that on a linux box, but its just not the same. (Again, speaking as someone who supports linux boxes in a CAD env)
