Hi,
I'm using Windows XP and Ubuntu on my laptop.
When I scan Windows witth Nod32, Ad-aware and Spydoctor, my system comes up virus and malware clean.
However, when I boot via Linux and run a virus scan using Avast, it alerts me to the Win 32: Delf-XQ [TR] virus in pagefile.sys. I googled it and I think it's a trojan downloader.
I think the scanner scans all the windows files too, even though I'm in Linux.
Avast asks if I want to remove the virus and I delete it each time, yet it comes back.
I had the same problem with a virus in the hiberfil.sys folder, but after I disabled hibernation, that warning disappeared.
I turned off pafefile, rebooted the computer and then turned on the pagefile. But I still get the trojan downloader alert
I'm not sure if this is a false positive. Please help!!!
Thanks a ton.
