I am running openSUSE 10.2 and when I was running a scan on my system Avast GUI says this:
File "/windows/C/pagefile.sys" is infected by "Win32:Adloader-AC [Trj]" virus.
Version of current VPS file is 764-8, 08/12/07.
I tried to tell Avast what to do with it but no matter what I told it it errored out, so then I run avast from xterm on /windows and the CLI avast reported that /windows is virus clean. Not knowing which version of Avast is right I am running Clamav to see what it says, but shouldn't the GUI and CLI be giving the same report, considering its the same program. I will post the result of clamscan. Could I have possable stubled upon a bug in Avast?
No, according to avast, using both boot time scanner and on-demand scanner, under windows, and the Microsoft Live One Care scanner my windows boot is clean. I can tell that more than likely its a false positive, seeing as every scan I ran on my system except the Linux versions GUI came up as my system being clean. Clamav’s clamscan even came back as being clean.
Well using the GUI I tell it to do a thorough scan including archives, and at the command line I let it do the default action which is to scan all files including archives, as far as I can tell it is the same thing.
