I've just installed my new virus detector onto my computer. It asked me if I wished to do a full scan on all disks, so I clicked yes.
When scanning my second disk it discovered a 1Gb virus!! It was called "WINXP" :s
What should I do?? I'm new in linux, and I didn't know you could get viruses that big.
