<sarcasm>The Gentoo virus is a really bad one. Once it's got you infected, you will *never* be able to get rid of it again... I am addicted to gentoo since it started. See this as a warning</sarcasm> _________________ Please stand by - The mailer daemon is busy burning your messages in hell... |

I cannot remember whose sig it is in, but
Quote: | gentoo addict: One more emerge, then I quit |
So yes, it is really dangerous.
On a side note, according to the Avira page, this is the "virus". |

Another funny thing is that Avira thinks that the file is a mailbox I've never seen tar.bz2'ed mailbox files. _________________ To have no errors

|
|
Hello,
I'm trying to install Gentoo, so, I downloaded the file portage-latest.tar.bz2, using Windows Seven. I installed Gentoo.
I'm temporary using Windows Seven, and I launched a scan with Avira AntiVir, which detected the virus "HTML/Silly.Gen" in the archive, and it sayed me it won't repair the file, because it is my mailbox (??????)
Google didn't give me any way...
Is it normal ?
Thank you for advance,
ProgVal

Yes, it is. It has been there at least since 2004, I got infected back then. If you are not careful it will infect you, too. Symptoms are horrible. You will look at any closed-source software with despise, in developed stadium you will trash your Windows 7 because you cannot stand it any more. |

Thank you both.
Jaglover: I guess that Gentoo is less dangerous than a closed-source system, but I wondered if the file I've downloaded is corrupted, or come from a false site. |

Hello,
I post this here as... I know well that many honest codes can look like a virus' signature.
It's just simply funny for me as, having spent 2 days configuring lilo for dual booting, I had ended considering I was just...
Silly !
Recovering my XP session I had not seen for days...
I updated my Avira...
And let it run on the vfat partition I had downloaded the portage-latest tarball to...
Gling ! : portage-latest.tar.bz2 (portage/app-admin/lsat/files/lsat-0.9.6-gentoo.patch) contains the HTML script virus... HTML/Silly.Gen
Was it especially made for me ? |
