Re: What about a file /proc/kcore?



No, this is a virtual file that contains an image of your currently
running kernel.  Possibly your virus checker is seeing an image of
itself in kernel memory, including all those virus signatures it
loads...

This is the second question on this in the last week.  Do we need to
have a word to the virus checker implementers?  What virus checkers
are there for linux?  What *viruses* are there for linux, anyway?  I
have *never* heard of one, *ever*.

What virus checker are you using?
