... My Linux system, CentOS 5.9, kernel 2.6.18-348.18.1.el5, x86_64 CPU plays the "William Tell Overture" through the motherboard "speaker". I loaded the clamav software and ran the scan which showed no issues. So, I've got to ask: Is this a new issue? Or a feature? Ideas?
The vast majority of malicious software out in the wild affects only Windows machines, so that is most unlikely to be the problem here but it isn't out of the question as you're obviously fairly new to Linux. It isn't clear to me if you're asking if this is a new issue with the CentOS system, but if you are this isn't the right place to ask - you would be better asking on a CentOS mailing list: http://www.centos.org/modules/tinycontent/index.php?id=16 You could try looking at the processes running on your system. It would probably be best to shut down any Graphical User Interface which you might be running and log in directly at a system login: prompt, so that you have a minimal set of processes running. Start a shell and at the shell prompt type man top followed by the 'enter' key which will show the manual page for 'top' and tell you more than you ever wanted to know about looking at the processes running on your system. To navigate through the man page, use the cursor keys etc.. Hit the 'q' key to quit man. Then to run 'top' itself, type top again followed by 'enter'. Again, hit the 'q' key to quit top. When you've seen the processes that are running, try to find out what they all do. That will take a while but you'll be a lot more familiar with your system when you're done. If you find anything that looks to be out of place you might want to put the process name into a search engine to see what others have found or ask on a CentOS list. As far as I'm aware nothing in ClamAV will ever play tunes, but lately I haven't been keeping really current with ClamAV development. :) -- 73, Ged. _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: https://github.com/vrtadmin/clamav-faq http://www.clamav.net/support/ml
