Waw, someone who knows all about those things, I'd like to shake your hand. A real Linux specialist.
Of course you are much smarter than I am, I'm a complete n00b on those matters, I've only been some 15 years working on/with Linuxes-Unixes.
One of the many many many....

Overview -
This is a trojan detection. Unlike viruses, trojans do not self-replicate. They are spread manually, often under the premise that they are beneficial or wanted. The most common installation methods involve system or security exploitation, and unsuspecting users manually executing unknown programs. Distribution channels include email, malicious or hacked web pages, Internet Relay Chat (IRC), peer-to-peer networks, etc.[/b]

It's very simple, if I'm not an idiot, I'm not going to get a rootkit on my Ubuntu box. Period.

if everyone ran linux, hackers would just go and write hacks, spyware and virus's for linux. Theyd just have to work a little harder at it.

Very valid point. Which is the main reason I don't complain that so many people want to use Windows. Makes my life a lot easier.
