Maybe they're right, I'm just paranoid, but what am I seeing and why are these strings so common across Linux distros binaries, esp. the Jv (java?) reference? Please, any help?
No, you're not paranoid. You're just unaware of how Linux dynamic runtime linking works. Look it up. Look at the command 'ldd' and the manual page for ld.so, ld-linux.so* - the dynamic linker/loader A few lines above the __gmon_start__ _Jv_RegisterClasses you will see /lib/ld-linux.so.2 which gives the game away. As the man page says this is followed by options and arguments. The options are the files to link to dynamically and the entry points. This is not some malware, its the basic internals. I'll leave it to you to read the man page and do some googling.
