[Fwd: Re: [Pc_Support] Smmmmearing on several applications]

[Homer Whittaker]

I have searched extensively for a Linux program to find and eliminate 
spyware without too much luck.  All to almost all are Windows based.  I 
did find one, Aluria that sounded like it would do the job but it ran 
and ran and ran without much response.
Shortly after running it a window came up and said that I did have a 
virus but did not provide any clue as to how to get rid of it.

Anyone know of a virus remover for Linux?  Assuming that the Aluria 
program knows of where it speaks?

If no joy with virus remover, what is my next step?  It seems to me that 
  if I backup the currently installed "stuff" I would only be moving the 
virus to the backup and from there to a newly installed Debian. Any and 
all suggestions would be welcome.
Homer

I have Debian-2.4 kernel and Debian-2.6 kernel on this Debian only box.
It smears on just about everything except Thunderbird Mail Client.
Especially bad on the Mozilla browser.

If it is spyware how do I get rid of it?
