when I attempt to scan anything with clamav from a terminal I get the following error:
ERROR: Can’t create temporary directory /var/lib/clamav/clamav-da584cb3f4ee38529f0460ad6f7dc632
Hint: The database directory must be writable for UID 999 or GID 100
Which I take to mean that there are no virus definitions installed. So I use the “freshclam” command. Which results in the following error:
ERROR: Can’t create temporary directory /var/lib/clamav/clamav-da584cb3f4ee38529f0460ad6f7dc632
Hint: The database directory must be writable for UID 999 or GID 100
Am I not able to accomplish this via a live cd?
This mightbe better
Rescue CD
I’d still never trust a win system recovered from a virus though
yeah, this is a stopgap. I intend on reinstalling windows in a few weeks and creating a dual booting setup once I get the time and switching over to suse for the majority of the things I become more familiar with it.
I just really need windows back up in a somewhat functioning state as quickly as possible.
I’m actually already downloading knoppix. But my internet is incrediably slow. I accidently downloaded the german version and couldn’t figure out how to get the virus scan to work do to the language barrier. I thought I would try using the suse live disk I had lying around in the meantime.
I’ve created the knoppix live cd, but I can’t seem to find the virus scan?
is the recover cd you recommended different from knoppix?
