Not. There is a set of extended file attributes available for the ext2/3 file system, one of which is an 'immutable' flag. There is an attack vector floating about which has the habit of setting it. man chattr man lsattr are your friends. You have probably been compromised, you have my sincere sympathy.

If you find a virus apparently from me, it has forged the e-mail headers on someone else's machine. Please do not notify me when this occurs. Thanks.
