Virus is a computer program which is already corrupted and also corrupt ur system files............ and misbehave ur system...... B-)

Now what is Spyware..........??? :-/

Spyware is a program which is used to steal ur info Silently to others........... B-)

For fighting them there is also a program called Anti-Virus and Anti- Spyware............

But my method for removing those is something different............

                                                                              Remove Windows Virus using Ubuntu

Linux is a another Operating system......Which is more secure than linux.......... and very rare for infect linux......... and ubuntu is one of them....:D

5. Download Avast and also request for avast key........ It is free.........http://www.avast.com/registration-free-antivirus.php

After downloading or registering ur avast update it and scan ur hard drive..........

from root/media folder where all of ur hard drive linked.........

Also u can use clamtk.......

just type in terminal .........

sudo apt-get install clamtk

and update it via......

sudo apt-get freshclam

And then scan.............

F.A.Q.............

Why we need virus scan from Linux ?

Sometimes virus also corrupted anti-virus and interfere in installing of new anti-virus.....That's why....  ;-)

Is Linux Antivirus is install permanently ?

No, when u remove ur live cd the linux antivirus will also gone........

Is this safe ?

i recommend u to check ur file before taking any action.......

Is this working ?

Yup :D
