"When you are dealing with rootkits and some advanced spyware programs, the only solution is to rebuild from scratch. In some cases, there really is no way to recover without nuking the systems from orbit."

A) There is no start up in Linux.
You are clueless. It's called INIT.
B) Did MS write the malware? NO.
That's why I said negligence. Look up the definition.
That would be like saying it's Boeing's fault that a 747 got hijacked.
No it's nothing like that. Actually that might even be the worst analogy I have ever heard.
