Reason for Fast:
Each restart linux running defragmentation & scheduled FSCK
this is one of the reason for fast & due to modular kernal
we no need to restart the system for while adding new
service/device/modules.
Reason for does not get virus:
In linux all are consider as file and files are not
executing automatically.so not able to spread.
But if we fails to secure our system[physical/nw] hackers
can schedule the script in cron.

Answer / dineshkumar
It does not get viruses because unlike windows,in linux each and every services,files have different contexts.So for each one we have to write pgm to attack.
ex:
.for samba,samba_share_t
.for html,httpd_sys_t
*To know the contexts ,run ll-Z

Answer / prashant
Linux is running defragmentation on every boot.
In linux every thing is a file with permissions.
FILE can not be executed automatically without permission,it
has to be permitted as executable and has to run manually by
user.
Hence Linux is not getting Virus affected.
*Now a days there are some viruses that are made for only
Linux systems present over Internet.
