After these users' home folders have been wiped out, they go for the install media and reinstall the OS, as the OS is now "broken." Just as they would have done on Windows. They care very little about the Guru somewhere that preaches them how the malware was unable to affect the system files, and how that proves the security glory that is Linux. They tell everyone how "a virus" "destroyed" their Linux, just like a "virus" destroyed their Windows earlier. They tell Linux seems no more secure. It isn't more complicated than that.
