I wasn't worried about the virus side of things (linux 4TW) but AFAIK the steam folder structure is the same regardless of platform so any in-game or in-steam fuckery might be cross platform. I don't think steam or tf2 need elevated privileges to install some files inside ~/.steam/steam/whatever/tf2. It updates itself after all.
