I assume since you say it won't email itself, that it is supposed to copy itself to every users directory... infect their.login or suchlike Everyone's home directory would have to be world writable.
Don't make your home directory world writable. At my school you could lose your account for being that stupid. Just because you don't think anyone wants to take your silver (it's really only plasticware) is no reason to leave your door unlocked.

I absolutely agree. With any of the mainstream packaging formats, a database is kept of what file belongs to what package. That is how they can do an uninstall.
One way to find out what files are created during an install is to just search for them.
In install directory:
touch touchedfile make install find -cnewer touchedfile
