It is not going to be a virus. If it was my system, first thing I would do after booting up the Live CD as poster David suggested would be to run a filesystem check on the unmounted partition that is your root partition. Perhaps you might want to read the manual page for fsck previous to issuing the command. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
