you are speaking about "the folks".... do you remember the party M$
celebrated, when the first Apple virus was found some years ago ;-)
The whole theme might be a good topic for one of the next
Friday-meetings. "Discussion and Solutions around Viruses, Worms and
other threats to my Linux System"

I think it would be naive to assume that just because you use Linux or
a UNIX OS that you are immune to vulnerabilites/backdoors and
malicious code. With an increase of Linux and UNIX based OSes now
connecting to the Internet, all these folks who have been running
their malicious code need to continue... expect them to use whatever
they find connected to the Internet... even our trusted Linux/UNIX OS.
M$'s DLL-hell may make them an easier target, but it should not mean
that Linux/UNIX is immune

Heard about it already.
That is why you should only install programmes from trusted
sources ;-)
On gnome-look.org <http://gnome-look.org> for example was some
time ago a “screensaver”
downloading malicious software from the net after installing. But at
least this one was removed within a half day.

Of course, you might discount this possibility, but remember that one in
a million chances happen 99% of the time.
