Hi guys,
This is an area I don't normally come in to, but I saw this on an anti-virus site, and thought you might want to know..its a LINUX virus norton

Sorry if its old hat (and not red-hat :D
 
Thanks for the info. The pun was a bit weak tho :)

It is very unlikely that you will trigger this virus to cause complete mayhem. You would need to be root: otherwise only /tmp and ~/ are at risk. And we all know that every linux user is careful when acting as root....or so I hope :D

Thanks :)
