the worm virus? do you know the name of something you think you might have? what are your exact problems? you cant login from the console? maybe your UI is just frozen. more details on your 'symptoms' please.
there generally arent any virus scan software utilities for unices, as there arent really any viruses for unices. the broadness of the platform ( the many different variants ) is probably the main reasons why there arent many viruses to look out for. there are rootkits and such but anyway. ....
give us some more info, i actually doubt you have a worm or virus, though it is possible. you may have been hacked, but we cant really know until you give us more information.

GENWORM(1) General Commands Manual GENWORM(1)
NAME
genworm - generate a RADIANCE description of a functional worm
SYNOPSIS
genworm mat name 'x(t)' 'y(t)' 'z(t)' 'r(t)' nseg [ -e expr ][ -f file ]
DESCRIPTION
Genworm produces a RADIANCE scene description of a worm defined by the parametric equations x(t), y(t), z(t), and r(t) (the radius). T
will vary from 0 to 1 in steps of 1/nseg. The surface will be composed of nseg cones or cylinders and nseg+1 spheres. The expressions are
of the same type used in RADIANCE function files. Auxiliary expressions and/or files may be specified in any number of -e and -f options.
EXAMPLE
To generate a banana:
genworm yellow banana '0' '5*sin(t)' '5*cos(t)' '.4-(.5-t)*(.5-t)' 20
AUTHOR

BUGS
Since the worm is constructed of intersecting surfaces, only opaque materials should be used with this object. Also, a worm cannot double
back inside itself without making a mess.
