    Question clamscan: Unix.Trojan.ElkKnot FOUND

    Hi forum,
    I had suddenly a lot of files with the following message:
    Unix.Trojan.ElkKnot FOUND
    Does somebody know what this might be?

    Sounds like clamAV is being a piece of junk again. Why do you use it? It throws a ton of false positives.

    You could try f-prot (for updating you need ia32-libs) to get a second "opinion" what it is - maybe a false positive of clamav

    How many other forums was this same question submitted to? I've seen at least 3 questions worded exactly the same.
