The trojan.agent.gen may be the one doing it. Surprising that that was not picked up by the other scanners!
And spyware generally comes in piggybacked on otherwise normal looking software unfortunately No need to visit neferious sites, download warez or even get "hacked". The user just needss to be "tricked" into installing a simple program
And such things /would/ happen on Linux constantly if it were enough of a target. I.e. iOS and Android have been extremely heavy malware targets over the last year or so now that the OSes are both insanely popular. Android of course is Linux.... If that popularity transfered over to the desktop, it would be just as hard hit.
Malware has become even more of a problem than just plain virii these days, the two aught to be lumped together as a single body of threats so that multiple ways of thinking about protection do not need to be made.
