Re: [ubuntu-in] Problem (*.exe files Ubuntu India Local Community being created)
This thread is something that i will like to see develop. I too use USB
drives between XP and UBUNTU and do see foldername. exe files in the USB
when i plug it in Ubuntu. I do delete them incl the autorun.ini files.
@To the OP: Do you have a dual boot setup or a Virtual machine install of
Ubuntu. If your /home or /root is shared between XP and Ubuntu using
something like fsdriver or ext2fsd then yes all the drives/folders that are
readable/writable from XP will have the virus. Else NO.

I doubt it very much, but a small script written for a cross platform can
even run on Ubuntu but executable permissions will not be enabled by
default...
But I still think, you should have got in Windows only, may be after Macfee
cleaned, the virus reran the program
Can you share some more details, does the FAT/NTFS drives only have
{foldername}.exe or all the drives including Home (I doubt /root will be
affected)

You are right, no executable permissions will be given by default...
May be you can Re-Install Windows XP if none of the Antivirus Software
applications able to clean those viruses...
I know this is the the last option, but I can't see any other solutions
Others pour in your suggestions...

[ubuntu-in] Problem (*.exe files Ubuntu India Local Community being created)
I started using Ubuntu 9.10 in March'10...since then I've Windows on my comp
as well...soon after, I noticed that inside every folder there was a file
{foldername}.exe
Initially I thought it was a "windows" virus...and tried to clean it up
using McAffee ...but even though I'm using Ubuntu more often...I end up
getting them back..and even without using Windows
I'm sure its not normal for a ".exe" file to be created on its own in
Ubuntuwhat shall I do..I'm not using any antivirus..I've CLAMAV..but I
don't know how to use the command-line version...
