OK. Try scanning with ClamTK then. Make sure you update it. I recommend quarantee if you find any.

If you're running clamscan as an ordinary user and it comes across a file which it tries to delete/move but the user doesn't have the required privileges to do so (e.g. a root-owned system file), then it can't do it.

In the first place, and before you do any potential damage, you should run clamscam again and post the results here so that folk can determine if the files are a threat or not.

PUAs are very often just JAVA's version of cookies and are associated with such behavior. I've deleted every one I've ever found for years and never had a problem. Last one I got was in an e-book.

Computer crabs is what they are. PUA is Clamscan for delete.

Best 'o luck.
