but thanks greengeek that description is far better. I will share this with all the oldies in the family who are technophobes as it is a bit more userfriendly.
cheers

Anyone who doesnt know about this should definitely not hesitate in taking the necessary precautions to protect yourself from this terrible threat targeting 940 million android users Thanks - that is a valuable link.

Install clamav if you dont have it already: check out http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=53171 for info run this command if you want to scan recursively and move the infected files to eg. /somewhere here run this: clamscan -r --move=/home/USER/VIRUS /home/USER just replace /home/USER/Virus...

found out why clamscan -r wouldnt work before: it had the -i parameter set as well (which I assume can only mean that it lists the infected items or is supposed to???) well it didnt work like that anyway so Ive removed it and run it just as clamscan -r --move=..... hopefully this might shed some lig...

also found out that I didnt need to create that vault dir at mnt/home as there is already a /virus checked the contents and it had more than 2 infected files which was the previous scans results? weird?? anyway its still chugging away will share a screenshot and you can see what you make of the cont...

Which pup are you running this from? hmm seems to be working now?? at the mo I am currently running a scan on / using this command: clamscan -r --move=/home/USER/VIRUS /home/USER Ive replaced the above file/directory paths with my own to suit the way I have things set up like so: clamscan -r --move...

You want the -r and -i switch >> http://askubuntu.com/questions/250290/how-do-i-scan-for-viruses-with-clamav I think /var collects a log file as well. Yeah I tried that r switch and cant remember what happened but it did nothing I think, well at least not visually?? will try it again and report bac...

Hello to anyone and everyone who is or isn't a definitive clamav guru, preference for the former but any help would be appreciated. I dont run it often but when I do it makes me feel more secure. Anyway just ran my clamavscan and it returned this: ----------- SCAN SUMMARY ----------- Known viruses: ...

:D Hello Wits End. It's mksquash fs , not --sfs. And yes, you're welcome. I can always count on you semme to give me a good booting! lol anway as per usual with my impatience i found a gui based one that saves me so much time and does it all for me I just have to do the correct searches for the pet...

I'm still searching for that utility I remember which took multiples and combined them into a single. Seemingly, that utility could be adapted easily to meet system installation desire. Perhaps have a look at the likes of mksquashsfs - which takes a directory content (maybe extracted tar file) and ...

Thanks for the clear instructions, Aitch. That not only worked a treat, it was kind of fun as well. :) One tiny correction, though: the pet2sfs script is at http://www.smokey01.com/Tman/apps/Common-apps/ Thank you I dont know how you found it but thank you!! got so frustrated when I kept getting er...

Hi Just installed the audacity-lib-precise-2.0.5.pet 4MB followed by the: audacity-2.0.5.sfs 18.6MB and the error message I got when I tried to run it in terminal is: # audacity audacity: error while loading shared libraries: libavcodec.so.53: cannot open shared object file: No such file or director...

you dont have to register your device it was just a suggestion as you sounded sort of desperate. use Burn-IT's recommendation of "XFE" for connecting Android devices to puppy. It has a graphical interface, albeit a bit dated like midori browser, but it works! thats all that matters to me i...

If full, you have the disk?

Michael, seeing as the MTP cat hasn't posted in over a year , try one of the file explorer apps. Hi Semme thanks for reply, could you possibly name some good reliable examples of file explorer apps sutable for lucid puppy 525? my ppm is broken so Id like to just either download a source tarball or ...
