Freaky scam? ClamTk questions?
by Gregg Bell from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4YJF5)
I have two factor authentication on one of my important accounts. Well, so I filled in my (this on Xubuntu 18.04LTS PC Desktop) user name and password. The split second I hit the "log in" button, I got a phone call (the phone company labeling "scam likely") and the text (which is what I normally get for the 2-factor authentication). This weirded me out. I let the call go. They left no message. Ever hear of something like this? And, unless it was the absolute freakiest of coincidences, it has me thinking I have some sort of malware on the computer so I'm running ClamTK.
Well, in the settings I checked everything, and then I came across this (attachment)to say to uncheck a bunch of stuff (without saying why). So anyway the scan of the Filesystem is running and has found 37 threats so far. Will these (and more) be quarantined and no longer a threat to the computer? I've heard about 'false positives.' How will I know if something is real malware? Do I delete whatever is quarantined? IOW what do I do when the scan is done?
