If you don't use persistence or create the live media on cd/dvd then you can save the definition updates on your internal drive. If your stick is big enough, choose the maximum. You need to specify what size this should be up to a maximum of up to about 4gb. Create the live media and boot your system and, if you are using a memory stick, you will find a menu option to create a persistence folder. You can create the live media on a cd/dvd but the advantage of using a memory stick is that you can include persistence which allows you to retain the virus definition updates in the media itself. I can't tell you how to use that program because I transferred the downloaded iso file from LM20 to the Windows 7 partition of my dual boot arrangement (Windows has the internet connection disabled) where I used a program called 'LinuxLive USB Creator' to perform the task. You need to download the iso file from the link antikythera gave you and then run a live usb disk creator program such as 'Startup Disk Creator' which is in the repositories. It works well, is fairly quick, does not require space on the hard drive and gives me an extra bit of confidence so thank you very much antikythera.Ĭreating the bootable memory stick is quite easy. I have created a live bootable usb memory stick, with persistence, of the Kaspersky Rescue Disk and tried it out. The post from antikythera, from which the quote above is taken, was the final decider for me. ![]() I am no expert and in reading the comments of these experts, especially from those individuals who explain in calm and clear language why they hold their view rather suggest anyone holding a different view is an idiot, I have got to the point where I am about to ditch clam-av and clam-tk. The vast majority of the experts express the view that Linux operating systems do not require AV software. Whether or not to have AV software installed in Linux systems comes up regularly in the forum and I view such threads with interest and have contributed occasionally. Other than that, clam-av was not a major problem but did I really need it - I did move files around between Windows and LM20. ![]() ![]() Almost invariably these false positives fall into one of the following categories: browser and email client cache files, Windows executable files and Windows password protected files. I can confirm that it does indeed produce a lot of false positives so you have to be alert, not panic, and ensure nothing important is removed. Like the original poster of this thread, being used to Windows and now running a dual boot arrangement with LM20 and Windows 7 (the latter disconnected from the internet), I have been a little concerned about potential virus problems so I have use clam-av along with its gui application clam-tk. What you could do is run Kaspersky Rescue Disk once in a while for peace of mind.
