The only OS that this warning doesn't appear to apply to is OpenVMS.
Linux (and by extension, Mac OS-X) and Unix are also subject to this

What kind of 'stuff' are you smoking???? Do you have any idea how
stupid you sound?
I have been using Linux for 10 years, never caught anything. If I had
a dollar everytime I caught something on Windows I could retire very
wealthy. The truth is that malware is 99.9 % a Windows problem. So
stop lying about it!
Where's the "lie"? Where's the "stupid"?
This warning - that malware can leave such insidious and subtle traces on a
system that you can't guarantee to have found and removed them all - _is_
applicable to all systems. Possibly excluded are systems that exclusively
use write-once storage (CD-Rs, for example), and thus have an audit trail
from the moment they were first turned on to right now.
Let's remember that the very term "rootkit" came from the Unix world.
