Quick question about Antivirus.

[Maxime Alarie]

Problem fixed..

I  used a Linux Live of Lucid.

apt-get install clamav, then I ran freshclam to update the virus
database.   I have mounted my  NTFS partition on /media/disk and used
this Command:

clamscan -r -i -copy=Infected   /media/Preload &2>ClamReport.txt

-r = recursive
-i =  prints only infected files.
-copy=Infected/  = copies infected files into a direcotry called
Infected since its not safe to delete at the moment..


Once I knew  what files were infected and where they were.., I could
saffely  delete them with clamscan /path/to/infectedDirectory --remove


Thanks.

One would hope that to be their single and only use.
