All or none as "malware" has a different meaning on Windows.

As Randicus Draco Albus tried to point out the "traditional" UNIX is to run processes under different owners, with different capabilities and out of different home directories. We call that [I]separation of privileges[I/]. Human user accounts have the least privileges and therefore are by default not allowed to change files owned by for example the root user. Apart from that some Linux distributions add layers on top of that like SELinux, TOMOYO, GRSecurity or AppArmor to strengthen security and restrict what a web browser can do or access.

In addition to what DavidMcCann said about common sense there is a lot you can do yourself wrt web browsers and browsing hygiene like not using stale browser versions, not accessing the 'net with Java enabled (ninety nine per cent of the people on this planet don't need Java anyway), being selective which web sites are allowed access to which plugins, and most importantly be vigilant: if something looks too good to be true then that's probably the case.
