hi,
my sys. got attacked by a virus name W32.HllW.Gaobot.gen (the file 
explored.exe)
Norton2004 detected it but can not remove. I guess it is located on my 
home server \\slackbox\shares\exlpored.exe (samba folder), physically it 
is on /home/pub/explored.exe of slackware Box
my question is:
-should i move explored.exe to windowsXP then using Norton to delete? or 
using a linux anti-virus software to delete it?
any idea? and which anti-virus program is good for linux?
your help would be much appreciated,
regards
dieu
