Hello,

First, excuse me for my very poor english.

I’m install avast for linux home edition (1.3.0) (french version)
VPS version is 90309-0, 09.03.2009

my computer is an asus notebooks f3sa with 3MB of memory, an intel centrino, an ati radeon HD2600, and an asa disk 250GB.

I’m Ubuntu 8.10

I lanch avast with avastgui (first with my account, second with the account root because i can’t scan every directory (path ?))

avast found infected files in a vista partition >:(

i want to send this files : hibern.sys and the other memory file in c:\ (/mnt/vista for ubuntu) to quarantaine.

avast ask to me if i want delete all, delete or send to quarantaine.

i click to “send to quarantaine”

avast never respond and i can kill it.

The files with virus are deleted from original place and i never found its in quarantaine.

If you are any questions, i try to reply to you.
please, ask me in “baby” english or better in french :wink:

regards

Hi,

The files were too large to send to quarantine.

hibern.sys is the hibernation memory file- 3GB!

These detections can be false positives- not real viruses.

It’s probably best to ignore any detections in these very large memory files.

They are simply overwritten the next time you hibernate your computer anyway.

Maybe a false positive of that memory files, but it will be good to scan you Windows installation with avast at boot time.
