Windows Virus Removal with Ubuntu

Mon, 01/04/2010 - 23:09 — Phrank

So my Dad's computer had a few Trojans on it - Such a pain, so much so, that he install Ubuntu!

But He still needs XP, so here's how to remove those nasty viruses with ClamAV

This would work from a Ubuntu liveCD as well, so you could just boot to a CD, and run these commands

Install ClamAV

$ sudo apt-get install clamav

Update Virus definitions

$ sudo freshclam

Find Windows Partition - You want the partition that is NTFS - That's the root windows partition - /dev/sda2 in this case
