Hi Folks,

-How do I make clamAV scan my entire HDD ?

-As well, in ubuntu 18.04. If I accidentally open a malicious file, and then close my computer, does the threat stay persistent in Ubuntu 18.04 , like a metasploit ceafted file?




I feel like a bit of a fool. I am not that handy with linux, and I may have opened a malicious file, but then only scanned the dektop, did not know how to scan whole computer. Finally wiped HDD, like 2 weeks later after pontificating my possible mistake.
