De-virusing

Advice: when shoving down the throat of your Linux using co-worker/sysadmin your virus-laden Windows home computer expect him not to care and nuke from the orbit anything looking remotely suspect in the result of a virus scan, no matter if/how legit is it: keygens, password recoverers. keyloggers, Y!M spying tools...

  1. Haha, I know the feeling, removing Rootkits, and viruses from friends computers. I remember helping a friend with about 2GB of porn phone dialers...

  2. The thing is, there are some applications may be "legit" (as much as a keygen may be legit) but I won't take the time to research about false positives...
