ubuntu virus?

[new_foo]

I read a week or two ago a post about ubuntu having virus like properties. That is, that it was making its way on to more machines around the person's house. Well, it seems the incubation period is about three weeks. I was showing my co-worker my dual-booting xp/ubuntu machine over the last three weeks. Yesterday he said he downloaded the live cd and wanted to know how to install it. I suspect his machine is now infected!

Thank you all for such a great program!

Don't know a solution to recover

I ordered a few cds and even my 14 y.o. sister gave a few to her friends.

I had it on a machine with XP for a while, and when I tried to remove the Grub virus it completely hosed my XP install!

Seems to prefer having it's very own hard drive to live on.

The ubu\Kub strain has completely desimated it`s host on these machines and im happy to say that XP`s O.D is looking permanant this time and i dont think theres any real hope of recovery for the poor thing..

I wonder what AV vendors would call Ubuntu...

Who comes up with the naming schemes for malware anyway? It always seemed a bit clunky, and there doesn't appear to be a standard.
