So, essentially, really poorly written malware? Given the number of assumptions it makes without any sort of robustness around system configuration it's about as good as any first-pass bash script.
It'd be a stretch to call it malware, it's probably an outright fabrication to call it a virus.
This is.. clearly a meme..
I wasn't sure about it either. There's security researchers out there who might genuinely want to get a virus to run in a VM.
