I don't think it counts as a virus if you have to manually install it.

Yes they can. If you proactively give something root access to be installed on your system. But only an idiot would do that. Unlike windows XP, where putting it on the Internet, you’ll get infected with something before you can download all the patches.

Not exactly a "virus" unless the user purposely installs it... Sort of like the "Polite Virus" that went around a few years ago...

Dear user,

Please randomly delete some files on your computer, then email this message to everyone you know.

Thank you
