OS X and linux aren't any more virus proof than Windows is. The problem is that Windows is about 90% of the market, OS X about 8% and then the linux flavors take up the remaining.
So to the average malicous programmer whats more tempting? Writing a virus for a system thats only going to take down 8% of the market, or one that could potentially affect 90% of the market?
There are viruses for OS X and Linux too. And they can be just as succeptible to the browser hijacks on the net.
