Hi,
I am running Ubuntu 10.04 with a Windows 7 virtual machine (Virtualbox). I also just installed Avast 1.3.0 Linux home edition. Did a first virus scan and Avast detected a virus it said. The log says:
2010-10-01 08:09:30 Found virus 'Win32:Zhelatin-gen2 [Wrm]' in file '/home/michael/.VirtualBox/HardDisks/Windows 7.vdi'.
As there is no option to ignore the "virus" I thought I just let Avast put it in the virus chest and then I simply restore it. However, after selecting the "place-in-virus-chest" option, it stalled for a little while (large file, 11GB), then it seems to have shut down/crashed. I opened up Avast again, and had a look at the virus chest. It was empty! However, going to the virus chest directory will show me that there is in fact an 11GB file in there named "000000". How can I restore the file? Will it work if I just copy and paste it into its original location? Why does it not show up in the virus chest?
If there is a virus in there, which I doubt as I just have installed Windows and a few more programs, I of course rather run a virus check from within Windows than deleting the entire OS...
