Ubuntu

Very simple question. What file should I check for scanning in clamtk antivirus?

Asked by Joel Stein

There are five boxes. Right now I;ve just checked to scan files beginning with a "dot". Which of the other four should I check. I never used antivirus in the past but feel more comfortable having it there.

You can scan the whole OS with:

clamscan -r --bell -i / | grep -i FOUND

And show only the infected files.

Thanks Andrew. I think I'm on the right track. I ran the command and got a lot of "unable to read file *****" Not sure what that means. Also I don't know what the character preceding "grep" is. I don't have a verticle line. Is it a small l or something?

Don't type command in, copy and paste, will work much better. The | is Shift \.

Yeah, that's what I had done. Command worked fine, I just didn't understand results. I think I've pretty much worked it out, with your help. Thanks again.
