Joe --
Do you mean is it effected by? Or do you mean is your system
infected with? There are few Linux virus out the (Mr. Gates would say Linux 
is a virus). Sorry I could resist :)

The answer generaly given is in order for your system infected with a virus 
is by the root account, in order do any real damage. If enters the system
through a user account, it will effect files owned by that users and those
with the same group permissions.
 
But I could be wrong.
