Saving PCs from viruses - the Linux way
,----[ Quote ]
| This past week we were inundated by PCs with
| viruses. Either people were bringing their
| infected machines to the office or calling us
| to come and get them. It was a madhouse. What
| was really crazy was to see how many machines
| had either zero protection or just standard
| free versions of anti-virus tools (or, gasp,
| Nortons or McCafee). Now I will admit that
| even free antivirus is better than none. But
| recently the infected PCs have become
| trickier to disinfect. I came across a nice
| little boot sector virus last week that
| laughed at combofix, ccleaner, AVG, and
| Avast. It wasnât until I pulled out all the
| stops, with the help of my good old friend
| Linux, that I was able to finally say goodbye
| to those infections. But how? Let me explain
| this simple method.
|
| What you will need
|
| * You will need a Linux machine with
| ClamAV (and all the trimmings - including
| ClamTK if you want a GUI).
| * An adapter that will allow you to
| connect the removed hard drive to your
| Linux machine.
| * A little patience.

| What do you do when Windows will not boot and cannot repair itself from the
| installation CD? You fire up a Linux Live CD!
