The joke I've heard about Linux viruses is that if you were to get one, it'd be an email claiming "This virus works on the honor system. Please run the attached file and forward this message to everyone on your contact list, thanks."
Just how serious are the threats of rootkits - is it likely that people would encounter one? I know about them and what they can do, but not how easily you can pick one up. They're pretty frightening...
