Are there some instructions to diagnose the problem, for all the major

Good question. For the blackhole part, I would think not; for this is a
dynamic drive-by exploit kit relying on a whole updatable arsenal of
software bugs (which is what makes zero-day exploits so valuable to
hackers). In other words, if using an outdated JRE (even on Linux) the
past
couple of months, you will potentially have been exposed. Even if I
generally use one designated browser for applet/web-start stuff, for the
first time ever, I wonder whether it's time to invest in an anti-virus
for
my Linux laptop. :/
I'm in the 50% of Mac users running an anti-virus, but after major attacks
I always prefer to do some manual check...
