I Clam-scanned a bunch of old CD's.. Clam found 9 infected notes infected with: "Worm.Allaple-319"... I wonders if this was my problem with Ubuntu always failing..? These are some of my best notes.. Is it possible to clean the bugs out of them with Fedora..?

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.

Is there a way to make Clam update the signatures automatically? I cannot see an option in Clam TK.

KWord won't save as .doc format on Slackware 13.0 so I got the SlackBuild for OpenOffice and changed my .odt resume to .doc. But now yahoo won't attach it, it says it has a virus. Wtf? (I don't really think it has a virus.)

I'm looking for a bootable (livecd) cd that will perform an antivirus scan on a computer without needing an internet connection. It should have its latest virus signatures included so I can simply download and burn it. I've seen [URL].. suggested in various questions asked here, but that post is from 2008.
I tried:
Bitdefender rescue cd
Trinity rescue kit (TRK)
Panda SafeCD

can't seem to get my Linux AntiVirus Live update to download virus defs from my Windows Symantec Update Server?Windows workstations can update and download without a problem?When I run LiveUpdate from the side it errors out with "an error has occurred (code=-2,001)" Also, I'm not sure where the Linux defs are to be placed on my windows side for download from my linux workstations? I've found a couple good articles but everything I've tried hasn't fixed my problem? If I download the virus defs locally to each linux box I can update the virus defs without a problem, not a good option when I have several Linux boxes.

I just really want to know if there is a way to install clam av through the terminal. I have tried manually installing it, but it doesn't really work. I just want Clam av to just keep my pc working at its best. I have been using windows for so long that I feel like just having an antivirus on my computer.

I installed CLAM AV and also the GUI (CLAMTK).
1). What is the console command to scan all of Fedora, not just a specific directory, but the entire computer?
2). Even tho I have consulted the CLAM AV site on how to update to the latest virus signature database, I don't either understand what they are telling me to do, or I am not "getting" how to do it.

I have a dual boot computer. The WindowsXP "side" has been infected with a rootkit virus. So far UBUNTU has not been affected to my knowledge. I have not yet removed the virus from the WindowsXP "side". I am thinking of deleting the NTFS partition and have the computer fully dedicated to UBUNTU. Now for my question. Is there a possibility that the virus resides in the MBR and that I need to "rebuild" the MBR to actually remove the virus?
Even more extreme, should I totally re-install UBUNTU in the name of safety and precaution.

For a while my ISP has been sending me emails regarding an infected computer or computers on my local network. There are 4 computers running linux and 3 running windows on said network (3x ubuntu, gentoo, 2x windows server 2003 and windows 7).Now, I haven't used Windows in oh so many years and am not responsible for those computers on this network. Does it seem like this is a virus on a Windows host or should I research and adjust my iptables settings on the router? The applied anti-virus software (I don't know which one) apparently does not find any infections. On my workstation I'm using spotify and win32 office through wine, both obtained from legal and trusted sources, and would thus not consider my wine environment a threat.

I recently ran a virus scan on my CentOS server using ClamAV's "clamscan" command to scan my entire system for virus. After the scan was complete it says that I have 1 infected file on my computer. I COMPLETELY FREAKED OUT! Is there some kind of log that I should read to see where the infected files are? Also does ClamAV just scan your system for virus or does it scan and remove the virus on the computer.If you know of an alternative open source security software,

I'm now running Ubuntu 9.04. There are 2 accounts on this computer, one is linux, the other is ubuntu. Before New year, everything had been fine. But after new year, I came back and found that the password of this account linux has been changed. So I fixed using my rescue disk. But since that day on, it seems that this password changes everyday somehow. Everyday when I'm trying to log into my Ubuntu System using the account linux, it says login failed. However, i can still login using the account ubuntu. I'm really confused. Why is this? I checked the date of expiry. Everything seems to be fine.

In my network I have 25 workstations and some serves. Everything working in local LAN with firewall. The problem is that on one machine (I dont know which one) is installed software which sending data to the internet. Actually I dont know what it is. Last time as I remember was trojan which can create new network interfaces in windows and send some data to the internet. The half speed of my network connection is used by this infected machine. How can I detect which machine it is? How can I listen/capture some traffic and analyze from which machine I have more connections.
Please take a look on this time. Instead of 141-150ms should be 4-5ms.

I have a server connected to the internet placed in a DMZ that was running ProFTPD. A couple of weeks ago there was a security threat uncovered that would grant access to external users through a buffer overflow. Of course I patched my ProFTPD quite often after that to secure my server. Now my problem is that the servers of ProFTPD were compromised and that source code with a back-door was released. To make matters worse compromised systems notify the hacker they are infected. is there any way to ensure I don't have a root-kit installed short of reinstalling the system?

I am facing a security issue on my server. I can see many process like pscan2, scanssh and ./sshf processing on 'top'. The owner of these processes is non root account. Can anybody let me know what can be the extent of loss due to these suspicious scripts? How can I permanently remove these scripts from my server. Please note that I am using CentOS 5.5 (64bit).

My Windows XP Pro laptop has been attacked! Windows will no longer update and Microsoft Security Essentials will not update either. I've been trying to resolve the issue for over two weeks with Microsoft support, but it's just taking too long. I also tried some rescue CD options (all running some form of Linux, obviously):
- BitDefender Rescue CD (removed infections, now detects nothing),
- Kaspersky Rescue CD 10 (removed infections, now detects nothing),
- Trinity Rescue CD (won't load AV Engine, so can't use it to do anything).
Malwarebytes cleaned a bunch of stuff, but will not clean the final threat detected (it's supposed to get deleted on reboot, but never does). Hijack.FolderOptions is stuck in the accursed registry, and it keeps causing Windows Explorer to crash. I cannot rename files or work with them or everything just crashes.
So I'm ready to reinstall XP from scratch, and add a dual boot with Xubuntu & LXDE, which I'm already running on a much older laptop.
Question: I want to rescue the files I need. My idea was:
1) Install Xubuntu with dual boot.
2) Copy over files from Windows XP partition using Xubuntu.
3) Back up files to an external drive using Xubuntu.
4) Reinstall XP Pro and format hard drive.
5) Reinstall Xubuntu with dual boot.
6) Use Xubuntu for daily use.
7) Only use XP for those tasks that require it (TomTom updates ...)
Should I be concerned about the security risk from copying files from the Windows partition to the Xubuntu partition, and from there onto an external hard drive?
Is this the way to do it, or is there a better way? I just want my laptop back in working order. Right now I can't use it for anything.

Is there a 'plugin' for wireshark to analyze traffic and spot infected (windows) hosts? I have been using nepenthes with no luck. (and doubt all hosts are clean) is there some better way (other than using antivirus on each host)?

I tried installing F-prot's linux scanner but it doesn't seem to want to install and I am tired of messing with it.
So I am wondering if I even need it or if there is something else.
I am behind a firewall already with my router if that helps any.
I guess I am having trouble understanding why virus protection is less necessary.
Do people not write viruses for linux systems?

I read some articles about viruses in Linux and about some antiviruses which work in Linux and delete Windows viruses but I still don't understand: is there any antivirus which specializes in Linux viruses? Even though there are very little of Linux viruses, I know.

I know that this is a linux forum, but I need to tap the brains of folks that have experience in this filed. My wife is the assistent IT director of a large community college in Pittsburgh, PA. They are running 4000-5000 client PC's. between the labs a nd faculty, across multiple campuses. They are rolling out Win 7 64 bit across all machines. They have 1/2 the PC's on Forefront and 1/2 on TrendMicro. They want to re-evaluate the AV solution, and are unable to find any decent review or tests for Enterprise level AV/spyware/malware solutions.
