Linux's "startup file" is, actually, a series of scripts that get run in a particular order. Check the /etc/init.d folder for these scripts.

You can add a line to the file
/etc/rc.local
this is the last file to be run, and is the place your type of change is generally expected to be added.

In re your virus qn, there are few viruses written for Linux. Afaik, about 5 - 10 proof-of-concept in the lab, and almost none in the wild.
See the Security Forum or just search LQ for more discussions about that.
Note that the executable format of a Linux exe is different to that of an MS exe, so MS viruses simply won't run on Linux.
