[KLUG Members] simile.d virus

It would seem to me that as long as you aren't logging in as a superuser on a regular basis, instead using su or sudo when necessary, the risk is minimal at best. But beyond that, how can these viruses infect a Linux system if they are dependant on vbs and similar pathways? Email? Maliciously coded web pages? File attachments? Communist spies? Evil spirits? 

I'm not convinced (yet) that viruses are something I need to be concerned with on my Linux computers. Neither servers or workstations. 

Comments?
