Linux' security comes in form of total denial. Whatever involves more advanced operations than document writing and harmless preferences demands a password that must be typed in with the keyboard. If a hacker/virus tries to emulate keyboard pressing, it'll first have to get permission to emulate this...

No, Linux security comes from the fact that its highly decentralized (there are hundreds of distros) and that very few users use Linux. It's more rewarding to write exploits for a centralized OS which is used by hundreds of millions of users (like winxp).
Also, Linux is a server OS, always have been: and surprisingly, most hacked servers have Linux on them.
