OpenSUSE :: Using Clamav And Suse Live Disk To Scan Windows For Virus
Jul 29, 2010
when I attempt to scan anything with clamav from a terminal I get the following error:
ERROR: Can't create temporary directory /var/lib/clamav/clamav-da584cb3f4ee38529f0460ad6f7dc632
Hint: The database directory must be writable for UID 999 or GID 100
Which I take to mean that there are no virus definitions installed. I use the "freshclam" command. Which results in the following error:
ERROR: Can't create temporary directory /var/lib/clamav/clamav-da584cb3f4ee38529f0460ad6f7dc632
Hint: The database directory must be writable for UID 999 or GID 100

I am brand new to Linux.I was wondering if there is an anti-virus software that runs under Linux (Ubuntu Live), that can scan Windows files and get rid of the viruses?I ask this as I had a trojan that was detected, but could not be deleted under Windows; I had to us Ubuntu live to delete it, which seemed to have worked.

I'm dual booting 10.04 with windows 7 and it occurs to me that I could scan the windows partition for viruses FROM linux. Is anybody doing this sort of thing? Does that make any sense?

I know that there is little need for me to install an anti-virus etc - but - I was thinking, it is a good idea to scan folders and files that I send to colleagues that run windows.Whats the best way and programme to do this? I guess I simply install an AV programme and thats it!

klamav KDE doesn't work. It won't download updates. So, I want to make a one-click scan. I'v been using shell installers from nvidia. I know the sequence I use in the terminal to get it running. There should be way to do this from the desktop.

My Windows machine crashed, and I am at the mercy of my Ubuntu live-CD to solve all of my problems. I am backing up my data as I write this post. I was wondering two things: 1.) Is there a way to scan my Windows partition for viruses through the Ubuntu live-CD? I don't care much about repairing the partition, I just want to know what happened.
2.) And a few non-linux question: If I back up an infected file to an external hard disk, is it possible to infect another computer by merely connecting the disk to it? Is it possible that multiple, or all of my files have been infected? Is there a way I can open files safely on another (Windows) machine without (or at least minimalizing) fear of crashing it?

I was curious if anyone has attempted or successfully converted a kaspersky virus signature file to clamav signature? During a trial period using kaspersky anti virus for our web server I successfully petitioned them to write signatures for some nasty php web-shell hacks, and now that the trial period has expired I don't have the ability to scan for the files anymore (I know I am cheap!). The first hurdle would be finding the correct file, as their signatures are all done in hexadecimal format, and my knowledge for searching through that type of file is very limited.

I have seen that we can scan for viruses and also virus infected files with ClamAV but is there any possibility that ClamAV can repair virus infected files.

I'm having a little trouble with ClamAV. Everytime someone sends me an email I get this error in my Webmin Mail Log. Now the mail works and it goes to the quarantine or to the user mail box but this error fills up my mail log and I'm assuming it is not using ClamAV virus definitions to scan the mail? How would I get rid of this error?
I checked in my /etc/clamd.conf and I have AllowSupplementaryGroups yes. What can be causing this error?
I am using ClamAV 0.96.1
Spamassassin 3.3.12
PostFix 2.3.3
CentOS 5.5

I am a newbie in ubuntu. I did clamscan on my ubuntu /, and I got the result message as follow. it shows "486 errors" I am wondering if the result is OK or I need to do some action on it.
Known viruses: 968595
Engine version: 0.96.5
Scanned directories: 28067
Scanned files: 131696
Infected files: 0
Total errors: 486
Data scanned: 9020.40 MB
Data read: 17800.31 MB (ratio 0.51:1)
Time: 1349.479 sec (22 m 29 s)"
Also, my engine is 0.96.5. The latest version is 0.97. But "aptitude upgrade" can not upgrade the engine to 0.97. I understand 0.97 is still on testing. I am wondering if I can just stay with 0.96.5 and wait for the 0.97 passing all tests. if so, does it cause any security issue?

How to determine what type of files clamav can scan? For example, if there is no unrar installed it can't scan files in it. So is there any way to find out all types of files that clamav can't scan?

I have network shares automounted in /media and I want to exclude them from my automatic scheduled ClamAV scan in Maverick. How do I do this? I can't find any CRON link or script that actually starts the scan. Is it the Daemon that does this?

I installed F14 on a friend's computer a couple of weeks ago. Today she called me saying that her ISP called her telling her they'd have to cancel her internet if she didn't fix whatever virus was sending port scans to edu domains that they'd gotten complaints from. I thought "well, there's a first"... I've got ssh to her computer, so i shelled in and ran a couple of commands, but i really know very little about how to investigate this kind of stuff.
She's directly connected to her cable modem via cat-5; but she does have a wireless card installed --she just doesn't use it, nor a router, afaik, nor as far as i'd seen when i setup her printer. I googled a bit, and ran a couple of commands, and 1 of them was interesting because it APPEARS that her wireless card is ON and the eth0 is OFF? Perhaps someone will know how to read this output better than i, and the output of the other command that i ran. Also, does anyone know any other ways to properly investigate this one? FWIW, she does use transmission to download torrents.
Anyway, here's the commands i ran:
Code:
[root@localhost ~]# ip link show
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00.
2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UNKNOWN qlen 1000 link/ether 00:21:97:9b:70:29 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
3: wlan0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state DOWN qlen 1000 link/ether 00:1e:e5:9c:b6:8a brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff [root@localhost ~]#

I use my ubuntu laptop at work and connect a lot of usb pen drives to my computer. Everyone else I work with use windows and I want to make sure that the usb pen drives don't contain any windows viruses so I don't spread them. The best way for this to be done would be to have the USB pen drives automatically scanned with they are inserted in my ubuntu machine. How to do this?

I am trying to find a PCI compliant anti-virus that will scan uploads automatically for the debian lenny operating system. We are running the OS as a server with kernel 2.6.24 I am trying to avoid ClamAV as it is a pretty big system hog.

I'm looking for a virus scanner to scan some removable media (USB drives, mp3 players, etc). Since there's so many choices to choose from, can anyone recommend any?
I've heard a lot of people recommending clam av, but everything I've read suggests that clam av is better used for scanning e-mail servers and not home desktop application...

I have a Cent OS dedicated server, not sure what version though as I'm new to Linux. How do I find out what version I have? Is there an anti virus or security package that I can install on my server which can use Cron Jobs to do a scan every 12 hours.

I tried to decipher the info on the opensuse site about networked scanners but it's not clear to me and I don't see anything in the forum here that addresses the question, so here goes. My PC is an opensuse 11.3 box. My Epson CX9400 is attached to a Windows 7 PC at the other end of the house.
The PC's can talk and can access shared files nicely. It will print perfectly from the Windows box or the Linux box. It will scan perfectly from the Windows box. BUT I cannot scan documents from the Linux box. Have installed XSane and Image! Scan for Linux and neither one seem to find the scanner. I tried adding it manually in YaST and it doesn't seem to find it either.

Im currently trying to update my Suse 11.1 copy of Linux.
I got some messages that Clamav was not up to date.
I tried to use YUM which I installed on the machine but that did nothing.
It seems that I can only update Clamav by using Klamav.
Whats happening is that the system is telling me that its going to recompile Clamav, starts doing various tasks but doesnt really work.
When I use YUM on my CentOS 5.3 server it simply updates Clamav to the current version and then I use Freshclam to update the virus definitionsdone.
My questions is this; is there anyway to get the latest version of Clamav without going through the that Klamav thing. Klamav seems O.K. for updating the virus definitions but thats all.
Whats wrong with all the Linux software people?
Cant they just get their act together and make their software work. Im also trying to set up a mail server on my Suse 11.1 box but between figuring out how to install Postfix, Dovecot, Cirus-IMAP Im not getting anywhere.
As much as I hate to say this, these things only seem to be rocket science on Linux. I have much less problems installing software on Windoz.
Linux software people need to come up with workable install programs for their software products so more people who arent software experts can make Linux really workable.

I have a Toshiba laptop that cannot boot- I get the message, "Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt. C:windowssystem32configsystem"
I've found out how to use a linux live cd- (KNOPPIX_V3.9-2005-05-27-EN.iso) to back-up files I don't want to lose but now I want to know if there is a way to scan for and kill viruses, fix or replace the files that are so called corrupt instead of having to re-install from the factory OEM recovery CD. This would wipe out everything. I don't have a Microsoft windows CD. OS XP home.
This live cd thingy saved my butt so far....can it also run anti-virus software to fix my windows boot problem?

I would like to create a Suse 11.3 Live CD with Acronis on it so that I can boot from any computer, use Acronis, and still have some Linux commands available to me. Is this possible? I could part with OpenOffice.org to provide room for Acronis.
I currently have Acronis selectable in my grub menu, and it runs from my hard drive.

I have been trying to find a virus protection software that will integrate with my kernel 2.6.16.60-0.42.4. I tried Linuxshield, but the version of kernel I have is too new. I spent two days trying to make it work, but it gives me an error continually, no matter what I do when I try to install it. If there is anyone on the same kernel version that has had success with a virus protection software.
