How to clean virus-infected files ?

[Alberto M R Davila]

Thanks Charles,

But... I have also viruses in my evolution mbox files:

> //home/mine/evolution/local/KBD/mbox: Exploit.IFrame.Gen FOUND
> //home/mine/evolution/local/2002/mbox: Exploit.IFrame.Gen FOUND
> //home/mine/evolution/local/2003/mbox: Exploit.IFrame.Gen FOUND

If anyone has "any" further tip, please kindly let me know.

Thanks.
