Dear all,
a general scan from clamtk results in 70 odd 'threats' but these relate to snort which does not appear to be installed correctly, I ran "ps -A | grep snort" and get nothing when I expect at least one line of activity. This might be because I have updated using "apt-upgrade" instead of "apt-upgrade-distro". All in all a confusing mixture of deb associated commands and rpm.
What I want to know is, are the 'threats' a result of my incompetence or real?
I am running LXDE and think some of the functions/programs are cloud based.

Any ideas.

Fred.

IMHO posting actual application and diagnostics output is way more helpful and efficient for solving a problem than talking about it.

Sorry, unable to copy and paste the screenshot of clamtk's results. Ah, the attachment might have worked! Admittedly only a snippet but still don't know why it (clamav) is picking up on snort stuff, especially when snort does not appear to be running- see above post.

Screen shot shows files thought to be part of packages (verify package contents if you want proof) and AV message does not indicate anything that would affects Linux. Maybe Clamtk hasn't (check options?) but I know clamscan accepts --log=/path/to/file. Maybe use that next time as it's more efficient?

Thanks for the responses but drive has now died, only gives morbid clicking noise. Worn state might account for odd behaviour.
