Not unless you are running some sort of network service -- the vulnerability requires that people actually have some sort of way of inserting code on your computer.

SSH access would open the door too -- but that requires the attacker have a valid SSH authentication key.

Also, virus scans will only show that you haven't been attacked yet.
