Linux MInt17 Infection
Posted: Sat Aug 23, 2014 4:40 pm
I visited a site that had a poor web reputation by avast while in LMM17. When I went to shut-down laptop I could not do so and had to force a shutdown. At first I logged onto website by accident, but after seeing that it was such well informed site I thought I would be ok while in Linux. I was thinking maybe this reputation was old as all the info there and the quality of the site was spot on.
I then went off-line and ran rkhunter and chkrootkit, one of them found a infection and both found "Threats" and something to do with Java.
Today I ran ClamTK and Quarantined eight items, all of which were labeled as PUP's.
Can someone help with this as I have no a clue what to do.
Laptop still works but start-up is a little different than before, the little swirling icon does not come up as it did before right away. Not much difference but noticeable to me.
