[SOLVED] Possible virus

[geion]

Here is the piece of yum log that contains data related to my problem. After i input the command yum install gtk-recordmydesktop and hit yes after yum found a list of dependencies.

Jul 31 16:22:16 Installed: jack-audio-connection-kit-example-clients-1.9.8-9.fc17.x86_64

Yesterday i needed to record something weird i thought it was happening on a certain web site. First i tried with a camera then i tried to download the above program with the command yum install gtk-recordmydesktop. But soon after the download i saw a broken mirror message came and yum switched to another mirror but i could see what was the name of the server it was trying to download in the first try and i think it was something Mexicom. Then i uninstalled and installed it again but i think the second time it done it locally. My mind was too scrambled at that time and i went along with it and several hours later i found in my inbox on gmail site a really weird message that came in my inbox as 15:28 almost an hour earlier. But i could swear yesterday i saw in yum.log 15:23 instead of 16:23. I didn't know Fedora repos are being mirrored in Mexico. Anybody can confirm this?

Well, you could install clamav from the repository and check your computer for viruses - for peace of mind ...

yum install clamav

Clam AV is best in Linux Domain.
However the issue is that clamtk-gui is not getting updated in Fedora and hence the graphical scanning would never give you peace of mind.

Probably you may use Terminal to scan for viruses

Reinstalled the whole ... thing. It was bad. Tks anyways. And it was Nexicom not Mexicom. By the way there are two things that still give me problems at installation in F17. One is that i get out of range signal for monitor during the boot menu (dual boot with W7). I have to dig in etc/default/grub and add in grub the line GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT=console and then use the command grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg and the second one it in etc/yum.conf keepcache is still 0 by default and after changing it i'm still doing yum update yum then reboot, let yum read the new keepcache options then do yum update. In this way i can keep the downloads in var/cache/yum... These two issues double the time spent to reinstall Fedora. And a tip... you can have two different set of partitions for Fedora and install them alternately and keep data somewhere else, this way you wont loose anything while experimenting...

Actually i don't know if you can install Fedora twice. You can W7 and Fedora. But how you do it with Linux twice? I heard about people with Windows, Fedora and Ubuntu. You're gone need two swap partitions, two boot etc. (Actually i think you can to it with one swap only, i had that once in Windows with a shared partitions for the page file.) Never tried. But i once installed accidentally Windows XP the same version twice in two different partitions on the same hard drive and in the boot menu that got created said something like Windows Windows LOL. Actually that's how i started to think about partitions and multiple operating systems, by mistake.

Hi
I had once 4 Linux with my Windows 7.
Each Linux Installation would call for a separate swap area.
For debian releases 512 MB is enough.

However of late, I found that I do not need a windows...
If I need one, let me have it in Virtual Box

I do not need Ubuntu or Mint as I can do all what they can do in Fedora in a much better way
Hence, I have just fedora as my only OS.
