Answer for the topic starter: NO. Yes, there is linux malware. No, it cannot infect running Linux systems without the big help of a very stupid user with administrator rights. That user has to download malware, give it executable rights and then start it with sudo or provide his login when the program asks for it. In that case, he deserves everything that happens next. Since nothing that comes from the internet is ever executable in Linux, there is no way for malware to be activated from a link as it is in that other operating system that is on almost every desktop worldwide.
