Run:

Code: [Select]

sudo clamscan -r -i / | grep FOUND >> /home/youruser/virus-scan-report.txt
where 'youruser' is your username.

Then take a look at the report in your home folder. If there are no viruses reported, you are clean.

Why when I scan my machine using the commend: clamscan -r /. It always shows infected files

But, when I use the sudo clamscan --remove. It doesn't show any infected files. Do you know what's the problem?

I would stick to the terminal and not use ClamTk.

Okay, thanks!

Thanks, but whenever I scan it in terminal it says 64 infected files. On the other hand, when I scan it with ClamTk it doesn't say that I have an infected files. Do you think this is some sort of bug?
