I got a call last night from a quite elderly neighbor that is fairly certain he has a computer virus, or at least malware of some sort. Apparently the genesis of his concern relates to email (he has both Yahoo and Gmail accounts). I suppose he could have picked up some critter via Flash or been spoofed in some way…
What I would like to do is to run some app, test, or such that actually indicates what, if any, cretans exist on his machine (and to relieve his anxiety).
I haven't yet seen the machine, or know the detail what exactly prompted him to come to the conclusion he did. That, I'll know later today.
For starters, I'm thinking of installing & running ClamXav.
But, what do you suggest as my first step?
