Thread: Virus problem on Windows. Want to use xubuntu to clean.

-

/rant

parents computer infected today virus/worm/trojan/malware called msmxeng.exe. now, tried cleaning antiv , antispy programs installed can't anything. next, i've searched search engines including infoseek , lycos removing said virus, either program or manually, , programs "supposedly" remove virus though guaranteed removal includes "monetary" exchange. the?

did scour registry of winxp , found filename in 1 of keys , deleted it. however, still recreating folder it. no sight of file in taskmon , c:\>. can't delete folder.

solution pretty simple. livecd of ubuntu 8.10 or xubuntu 7.10 , delete folder. re-search said file , delete more.

/end_rant

there antivirus/antispyware/antimalware/antibad_file program in ubuntu can use scan windows partition? getting annoyed these malwares since lot of them dos files hinder network connection.

edit:
btw, reason of stupidity, typed command in run , started typing sudo when hit me in head....

edit 2:
strange, thread title being chosen or intelligently autocompleting? since never placed in title

nah, it's me edited title can right right people more efficient
