As far as i can see its a promotion stunt from anti-virus company's.
If i understand correctly they are saying when the program is installed it
starts to work, as i see it that will only happen if 'root' does it, now what
is the rule of thumb, dont read mail as root right.!.
The time to start worrying is when Linux distributers warm of pending problems,
like Redhat and Slackware do at regular intervals, they also include details of
what happend, how others "comprimise" a linux system and most important post a
cure for the problem.
