Removing virus

[Steve Bergman]

As more new users move from Windows to Linux, I think I see an 
unexpected PR problem developing.

I can just see the CNN story now:

Users Find Linux Just As Prone To Computer Viruses as Windows

There has been a flurry of concern among users of the Linux Operation 
System regarding computer viruses.  (Operation systems are the programs 
that make computers 'work'.) Some posters to the Fedora-Core internet 
mailing list, frequented by users of the freeware computer program,  
have found viruses on their Linux computers, previously thought to be 
immune from virus attacks.  Concern has arisen as to how to detect and 
remove the malicious 'worms' since antivirus programs, like Norton 
Antivirus for Windows do not run on the Linux system.  Many users have 
never scanned their machines, believing them to be virus proof.  As an 
interim solution, it has been suggested that the users empty their trash 
folders and delete infected programs on their machines.
