    Question removing malware through linux

    A trojan called Torntv.com is on my computer (my fault *insert feels dumb face*). How do I remove it 100% through linux as windows is dead on my computer?

    Most of the early google results I've looked at assume a functioning copy of Windows.

    One page suggests removing C:\Program Files\TornTV.com if present, though I don't know if that will be enough.

    I'll give it a try but I haven't got much hope, kaspersky has failed me in the past.
