In the zone
I run my system on Ubuntu. I also installed Avast for Linux. As I plugged in a USB pen drive, Linux asked me if a program be allowed to execute; obviously I denied permission.
A thorough scan revealed 6 trojans in the drive. Had I used this drive on my laptop running on XP, it surely would have been infected (despite all measures). Now, you know why I run antivirus on linux. I use it as a "sandbag" before running on windows machine.
OK, the problem is that avast is not able to delete/move to chest/rename it. Permission to do is being denied. The infections persist. What should I do now?
