More likely, it's a ploy to slow the flood of people to unix systems from
the aNTiserver and its brethren. Check the "bliss" link; it leads to a
page advertising that MacAfee is now in bed with Billy's Bumblers, and
makes absolutely no mention of anything called "bliss" (the supposed name
of the supposed virus).
Also worth noting: the quote "administration rights are required...".
I've never heard ANYONE in either the Linux or FreeBSD communities use
such a term; it's either "root access" or "god mode". Coupled with the
above link, the page reads like a press release from Redmond.
