Virus!
I just installed Fedora and I'm new at this but when I ran Avast it picked up a virus at

/usr/share/locale/pa/lc_MESSAGES/redhat-artwork.mo/partno_0#860842075

http://picasaweb.google.com/jtx472/1...40424889336834

But when I try to delete or quarantine I get permission denied.

Any suggestions? Thanks

Its not a virus , Avast always shows a false positive for this file.
