The question raised in the kubuntu forum also did not attract a response
from those offering kubuntu to its audience. The security question there
also remains unanswered - the same as here I have to say.

I don't really understand your concern.

As long as (some) user can install things as root, they can install
malware. It's nearly impossible to have an heuristic detecting malware
before they do they (bad) job.

Fact is AFAIK such malware are very qhickly detected and removed when
they come and never spread the world (like shows the thread that was
quoted here)

what do you want more?
