I often repair PCs for friends. One reoccurring problem, from one particular
friend, is viruses and malware out the wazoo. I recently had to pull the
hard drive, attatch it via usb to my Linux box, and clamav it. Clam found 80
or so infections and removed them. Wonderful. When I reassembled the thing,
all hell broke loose. I had to run malwarebytes, ccleaner, spybot, and avira
to finally remove the other 150 plus infections (including Antivirus 2010
and Security Tool). Is it possible to create a Linux environment that would
have the functionality to do this in one step? Oh, and just for the record
I'm not kidding, over 230 infections.
