So when Microsoft has a virus affect it's system, it's an indicator of a shoddy platform. When Linux is affected by a virus it's because of a Russian evildoer but it's ok, cuz it's good publicity for Linux.

Linux is only being "affected" by this virus in that the media and SCO originally tried to pin the blame on the OSS community. The virus does not infect Linux machines. It still infects Windows machines. So, what you've said makes no sense. The facts are:

a) the virus maker is using the shoddy platform to create a massive amount of compromised machines that act as spam relays and zombies for future DDoS attack
b) it only seems to have a link to SCO in that it RESOLVES sco.com
c) the worm apparently contains the string "(sync-1.01; andy; I'm just doing my job, nothing personal, sorry)"

These facts all seem to point to misdirection. So who's the party most likely to want to create an army of zombies and pin the blame on the Linux community?
