I have VirtualBox and did updates yesterday and my Avast anti-virus detected a possible trojan (ELF:Agent-RA) in the Adobe Flash Player-plugin update and stopped the updates. Just want to check if this is a known detection and if not this might be something to be careful about installing.

does LL build or re-build some files while online? the reason i ask is why this is in Off-Topic. when i run BB as admin sometimes it will delete/erase 258m of info from APT. the other day i ran BB as admin twice in a row and saw the 258m was done both times. it doesn't do this all the time.
i know BB has forums also, i'm going thru them to see if anyone else has run into this.

Hi forum.
First off - I love this distro, and using it in everyday use on my laptop.
So I'm also active in other forums - not neccesary using same username - where some forums is mostly for discussing hardware. So - because of this, I pretty often stumbles over forum threads where OP obviously have some windows specific issue. Eg. they ask if it's neccesary to reinstall OS, and thread starte never specify what OS he ment and get some answer regarding Windows (this is just one of many examples).
In that I tend to answer - but I also follows up telling that wouldn't be an issue if the OS = Linux (or similar, depending of OP's question and the information he share to that forum).
I kind of start wondering - does it help (make more people looking to Linux world) or does such additional comments probably irritates forum people? What do you think?
May I be not-so-nice when people want help with their windows - and I ending up telling them it wouldn't be an issue if they was using Linux?
May the win-only-guys just think of me as a pain-in-the-ass dude that just think he is so much better, but isn't ?
On the other hand - I can never really know what the thread starter want to do (make some interrest of Linux or not). Sometimes thread starter obvious isn't capable to solve computer issues at all, no matter what OS he uses and he will obviously never acually install any OS for himself, so I get that and normally won't try to answer those when it's obvious that the only thing that really help is to reinstall everything (or as a nice guy, I just advice them to go to a computer workshop and pay for any repair job).

| My solution for Windscribe NOT playing well with default LL DNS |

Newb here. LL Live USb
Had the "resolving host" delay from the very start. Suddenly, Windscribe would take FOREVER to connect or not connect.
Worked with WS tech support for over a week. Lightbulb moment
1. Googled how to change dns.
2. Changed to google.
3. Windscribe would not connect.
4. Removed/re-install Windscribe.
5 Connects faster than it ever has and no "resolving host" issues.
Your mileage may vary....

I recently installed Electrum on LL 4.0 for a client who wanted a cold storage device to link to his alt-currency account. The installation and setup went smoothly with no errors, and the python files even updated afterwards smoothly using LL updates and nothing has broken yet when running LL updates normally, so it seems that Electrum can indeed run on LL now. I've used it for many years in Debian and it is my preferred wallet and what I usually recommend anyway. My question is (I couldn't find any info in the release notes): what is the average installed file system weight of a new LL OS on a modern Intel machine. With Electrum and its encryption elements the file sytem in LL is around 25gig. I never looked at the size of the LL file system before installing Electrum, and my own LL is in qemu. His system is on a 1T drive so it doesn't really matter but I would like to know for future reference.
