Hi!
Scanning with settings Home directory / Standard results in two files displayed in the window Results of last scan:
/home/user/.wh..wh.plink Error while scanning Permission denied
/home/user/.dbus Error while scanning Permission denied
The File manager displays .dbus but not .wh..wh.plink, just .wh..wh.aufs which is an empty text file and can be opened. .dbus is a 4 kb folder and can not be opened. Both the folder and the file have root properties.
There are no A- and B-users on the PC, just root and the user.
OK, I'll remove this two files. Why not using right mouse click on the line in the window Results of last scan and use the Delete option (The other two options are Move/Rename and Move to chest) instead of using the terminal and chmod -r to fix it?
What do you recommend me to do with the 1000s of files Result of scan displays after a Quick scan? All listed files are accessible by the File manager, can be opened and should, I guess, not be deleted. Just three examples after a Home directory / Quick scan:
/home/user/Documents/Gramps/gr.grdb (The utmost essential data file of the genealogy software I use. I wouldn't want to loose it, even if I have an updated security back up file off the PC.)
/home/user/Photoframe/ss-1.jpg (Default examples of saved jpg-files. If I had pictures of my own on this PC, they would be listed in the same way and of course I wouldn't like to have them deleted either.)
/home/user/.galculator (Last settings of the Calculator application of the Acer Aspire One Linpus Linux default setup.)
Does Results of last scan just display each and every file avast! scanned for virus infection, without any comment whether they are infected with virus(es) or not? Would it not be better just to tell Files XXX (file list) are infected or No infected files found?
Does there exist any user manual for avast! Antivirus for Linux?
Thank you for your support.
