AV to scan windows?

[lmarmisa]

Im on a full installation on the 750gb hdd. The partition is split, ubuntu 11.04 has about 21gb and 7 has the rest

The command fdisk shows only one partition on your 750GB hdd:

Disk /dev/sdb: 750.2 GB, 750156374016 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 91201 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0xc4dcb34c

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sdb1   *          13       91202   732469248    7  HPFS/NTFS

Found the files in /host but still cant scan them for some reason. Clamav, clamtk, and bitdefender crash/timeout. Thinking it has something to do with permissions. going to try to run as sudo

You are running Ubuntu Wubi. This is the reason because you have only one partition (/dev/sdb1).

Try this command if you wish to scan the disk:

sudo clamscan -r /host/

If you wish to remove the infected files, type this another command (the infected files will be removed, so be careful with this option):

sudo clamscan -r --remove=yes /host/

If you wish more information type the command:

man clamscan

Oh wait, wubi is when you install through windows correct?

forgot... but i ran clamtk as sudo under the prompt and its now scanning /host

Yes, you are right.

Yay! 5 Viruses deleted. They happened to be located in some files i had saved for my wife from her old hard drive.... figures!

Sorry to bother you guys with this again, but is it safe to go back? Ive heard of programs that can scan processes and find which are malicious but unsure of the name at the moment...


Besides, im having so much fun on linux!
