Hello.
I found a trojan virus on my windows notebook using Windows live one care. I
proceeded to run this virus scanner 3 more times before I received a clean
report.
It is my understanding that a trojan can dump its payload (so to speak) so
as to cause further problems at a later time. So, I thought I could use
clamav on a flash drive and boot up the windows notebook using Knoppix
distribution of Linux so as to isolate drive c:(which is bootable for win
xp) in order to make sure no further instances trojan or its reminants would
remain (I understand the best solution is to wipe drive c: and restore the
hard drive; however, I am trying to avoid this tedious procedure).
Do you think this would be a workable solution and if so, what procedure(s)
should I follow to accomplish this task. I have some experience with
computers but a step by step approach would be appreciated. If you have
other suggestions, please include them.
Thanks, Chris
