by the way I have tried above things including “avast cleaning tool”, symantec “W32.Beagle.MO@mm Removal Tool”, “Virus Removal pack for W32.Beagle@mm” variants,
bit-defender…

what I got from eset sysinspector was a “hidden toolkit” hidden from system.
Have searched alot, seen people given up (reinstalled OS), read that bitdefender and norton repears infected files and mostly hijack logs that seems to show not much including “combi-fix” file (AKA combifix.exe).

The last solution I can come up with is to use ubunto live cd and install avast (may work) or another AV. See this b-u-t-full GUIDE!

Seems like this variant is one of those we never wished to ever see the dayligt.

I like using ubuntu because it allows me to copy data from windows passworded user acounts without hastle.
And hopefully now I can use it to clean the hard drives too.

>>after comlete instalation, i try to update database its looking fine
>>but every time i run from application-accessories the display command >>always appear like this :
>>Deleted stale lock file ‘/home/hartono/.avast/lockfile-hartono’.

>>please help me.

Hey Tonbuntu, first try a compete uninstall by either running synaptic and searching for avast then do a complete uninstall and remove files or ’sudo apt-get purge avast4workstation__.deb’ to do it through CLI. Enter root password when asked and press enter. Second. download the newest avast at http://www.avast.com to ensure you’re gonna get a current version. And registration is free. Do this now while you wait for the .deb file to download. Then double click the avast4workstation_1.3.0-2_i386.deb and let gdebi do it’s work…or you could open a CLI (terminal) and cd to the directory it was downloaded and ‘chmod a+x avast4*’ then ’sudo dpkg -i avast4workstation_1.3.0-2_i386.deb.’ Now this time when you first open the program first put the registration key in and then close avast before you run the update.
Sorry in advance if this don’t help or if you’ve already done it this way. I know I tried doing an update once before inputing the registration key and it did funky things, crashed and refused to run. and one instace it kept deleting stale lockfile stored in /home/wizard/.avast/lockfile-wizard. so another solution would be to manually delete that lockfile before avast runs as it is only still there because of avast crashing in the first place. it’s only supposed to be present when avast is actually running so if it’s in the /.avast folder in your home directory then it should be deleted before you run avast again.

Again, sorry in advance if this don’t help. Good luck.

please help me

They also tend to forget that Wine can get virus’ and that you could get infected email attachments and inadvertently forward them. And that doesn’t speak to virus’ that exist for Linux or other potential vectors for virus’s that while they may not directly affect you, could affect those who you share files with.

Those are not the kind of people you need to take advise from.

FYI to all the “You don’t need Virus Scan on Linux” people. Yes, it’s very difficult to infect a Linux machine with the majority of viruses being written for Windows, however if you share files with other Windows users, you could be receiving, and redistributing virus infected files without knowing it. That’s why Linux virus scan tools tend to be as-needed, instead of always on.

Happy scanning!

Use ClamAV… fits better, and its in repositories.

And one more doubt. Why should I do registration.What is the use of this.

“Could not resolve host: files.avast.com (Domain name not found)”

What do I have to do? How do I set up the domain?

Just checking before Conficker starts the 1 April joke of the century.

And, as to be expected, a very nice “clean” Ubuntu 9.04.

“Could not resolve host: files.avast.com (Domain name not found)”

What do I have to do? How do I set up the domain?

The mentioned download worked perfect.
Download > Install > Run Avast
As easy as it can be.

But why was this download so hard to find? Is it a test, beta program?
I tried with the avast 4 0.8-2.deb but no reaction.
The Avast 4 1.2.0-2.deb works fine with my Unbuntu 8.04 LTS

Thanks,

Thanks in advance for your attention.

Albert.
