    Klam-AV wrecked my computer

    Yesterday Open-DNS informed me that malware activity had been detected on my network. Which is strange because the only devices on my network are two ubuntu computers, a printer, and a ps3.

    So I decided to give KlamAV a try it ran its scan and came up with a bunch of candidates for quarantine, all of which looked realistic like a number of .exe's associated with picasa, as well as a number of encrypted zipped files that had names like windows self installer.

    after the quarantine I am now unable to logon to my computer, it gets to the login screen but then tells me that it is unable to update the ICElogin file.

    Is there a way to boot to safe mode and then undo the klamav quarantine?

    Re: Klam-AV wrecked my computer

    Ok so it looks lik I can still login to my profile. However many things do not work like nautilus and the gnome clock app. In addition to this it seems that KlamAV has killed itself by locking down something it needs in order to open. Is there a way to undo the effects of klamAV without opening the program?

    thanks,
