I just installed the "ClamTk 4.38" anti virus software. It tells me the Anti Virus Engine is outdated. How can I upgrade the Anti Virus engine?
I have that problem already for a few years and now I am getting tired of it.
Pretty much every Linux user thinks they're immune to viruses, but they're wrong. Just recently, malware was found hidden inside an innocuous-looking Gnome theme from a reputable site. Users who installed the theme also got several scripts installed as root that were designed to attack internet targets, but it could easily have been much worse.
Hi
I recently started to suspect virus activity, so I installed Avast! for linux.
Job one, as per most antivirus apps, i downloaded the latest virus database, and applied it. The moment i ddi tho, Avast crashed and now will neither run nor allow me to uninstall.
First you have to download avast anti virus software from avast website
http://www.avast.com/linux-home-edition#tab4
now you will see avast web page called avast Linux home edition
you will see a Note: the program will not work with out a valid license key.
I think my Huawei Ascend has a virus :(
It started a couple days ago when i downloaded some apps now it will not stop turning on and off unless i remove the memory card and it will also say "process android.[process has stopped unexpectedly. media has stopped " it will say this over and over even without the memory card !! Also functions such as ringer and alarm etc.. dont wrk..
I ran KlavAV and two files come up as suspected viruses, /usr/lib/firmware/vxge/X3fw.ncf and /usr/lib/firmware/vxge/X3fw-pxe.ncf The name of the problem is given as Heuristics.Encrypted/Zip.
Is this a virus? Or is Klam just scared because it's encrypted?
What is your take on anti virus? Is it worth the beating my battery takes?
So since my threads keep getting closed/deleted without receiving any actual help (thanks mods, strong commitment to helping people... strong power trip), I will attempt to ask this in a more rule-abiding manner:
If I use certain ******* sites, and download certain files from them such as movies, music, programs, etc., do I need to run an anti-virus on my Nexus 7?
Is anti virus apps worth having on the n7?
