Orian Posted August 1, 2019 Posted August 1, 2019 Good morning all, i need a bit of help as a linux user i never seem to get a problem with viruses. however my parents on the other hand seem to have been riddled with worms and God knows what else I'm looking for a boot cd utility with an up-to-date anti-virus software that can scan a hard drive and remove the viruses n malware n the likes. ive tried ubcd but it cant find a software package but not joys Sent from my Nokia 4.2 using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
feetfats Posted August 3, 2019 Posted August 3, 2019 (edited) Since nobody has responded I will put in my amateur 2 cents. Can the system boot up and run malwarebytes? Spybot search and destroy was always my go to as well but I've honestly not had a big virus problem in a long time. booting into safemode during virus removal helps. I setup my parents with avast on the auto scan and update schedules so I get way less calls from them now. I also taught them to scan files before installing things but I doubt they actually do that. If the system is really messed up I tend to do full format but I'm no pro. What operating system are they running?
