Some advices to help the users
Be very careful with the users that report a virus infection in Ubuntu, because they often download a Windows(R) malware and ClamAV reports it even if it cannot infect a Linux machine. In all cases, the reported file should be deleted, because a network may also contain Windows machines and nobody wants a virus/malware in the monthly backup.
Also, some websites try to convince the user that the system is infected and offer a download that hides a trojan horse. Some may infect both Linux and Windows by using social engineering (or memory exploits) to get the administrative credentials and portable languages like Python, PHP or Java to cross the barrier of executable formats. Just ask the Ubuntu user to delete any copy of the infected file, disable suspect browser extensions and never visit that web domain again.
I'm trying to be helpful but my answer is far from being complete and my English is weak. Feel free to ask in the comments if you have more doubts. :-)
