run clamscan from a usbstick
I keep having trouble with a win computer at work. It says my usb stick is infected, and will not read my data. My Ubuntu computer reads them, no trouble, and clamscan finds no virus.
I think the virus is coming from the Win computer, which has AVG as antivirus program. I need to use this computer now and again to print things, that's all I do with it. Our printer is a Toshiba eStudio 243 multifunction machine, which will not work with Linux.
I have reformatted my usbstick, replaced the files on it from my back up, run clamscan on it. I insert it, the win computer can read it. The next time I do this, I get AVG saying everything is infected, and the win computer won't read my stick. It's a bit of a problem when I want to print something in a hurry.
As I did not use my stick on any other win computer, I think the problem starts there.
So I want to run clamscan from a Ubuntu boot stick that I have, put it in the win computer, boot from usb then run clamscan, find what AVG is missing and remove it.
Can this be done? If so, please tell me what I need to put on the usb stick.
