Wii is uncapable of downloading, therefore, no viruses downloaded.

You would only be able to install Linux on your Wii if you have a modded Wii... and why you want to have a modded Wii, I don't know.

To the OP: Feel free to keep looking up porn on your Wii.......I am only slightly kidding about that as that is usually the reason people ask the question.

Only if the browser has holes for the virus maker to exploit. (IE has many, which is why I stopped using it long ago)

In any case, for a virus to even work on the Wii, it would actually have to be programmed for the Wii. Just like real biological viruses, computer viruses have trouble crosses the "species barrier" (in this case, you can consider different Operating Systems as "species"). A Windows virus...which the overwhelming majority are... will only work in Windows, and nothing else.
