Upload a file, it will scan for viruses using dozens of scanners, and including running in a few VMs to test install, execution (behavior tab), networking (relations tab), and give a report.

Uses a hash to quickly lookup reports if anyone has done this before with your file (fast).

#Scientists say the use of an antiviral may be fueling the evolution of new #Covid variants by causing mutations in the #virus.

#Molnupiravir, which is also sold under the brand name #Lagevrio, is designed to mutate coronavirus to destruction, but researchers found evidence that the virus can sometimes survive the treatment, leading to mutated versions that occasionally spread to other people.

'Study finds evidence virus can survive treatment with molnupiravir, leading to mutated versions that sometimes spread'

'As well as spotting signature mutations in Covid viruses obtained from patients, the scientists found that these were more common in countries that used the most molnupiravir, such as the UK, Australia, the US and Japan. Further analyses found the hallmark mutations were more common in Covid virus taken from older patients who awere more likely to be treated with the drug.'

What’s with the #NoToBrainInfections hashtag? It’s just something I made up that you can follow to see what I’ve posted about a very good reason to avoid getting #Covid. I plan to dig through my archives soon for some truly terrifying academic papers I found while actively researching this a year ago. This #virus burrows into people’s brains and fuses neurons together. It causes actual brain damage. It really is a big deal.

Screenshot from a guilty lurking session on Twitter.

Dr. Sean Mullen quote-tweets the following: “Repeated SARS2 infection is leading to significant cognitive impairments among children and youth. 

Grade 7s: can’t write a sentence, can’t read, math achievement between grade 1-4, can’t identify own state.

We are destroying a generation of young minds. And for what?”

He adds: “Disturbing. Been saying this since the beginning. Most transmissible virus our generation has encountered / fuses brain cells / no precautions/ repeat infections / chronic absenteeism/ presenteeism / lower academic performance. We’ve destroyed the brains of a generation.”

No, #CovidIsNotOver and you should be saying #NoToBrainInfections by simply wearing an #N95 respirator.

I’m really tired of this #pandemic. It sucks. My social life is a smoldering ruin. But neither my preferences nor yours dictate what happens with a highly transmissible, immune-evasive airborne #virus.

Spokane County SARS2 concentrations in wastewater since the lull of Spring 2022. Levels are rising from a 2-month long local minimum, though with considerable variance that makes the upward trend less statistically significant. It’s difficult to estimate from the plot what the levels would be even if the first derivative since June remained roughly the same, and there is no evident exponential growth.

Horizontal red line shows the current levels compared to what they’ve been for the past 14-15 months. Contrast with the zero-virus level shown with horizontal yellow line, and note area under the curve overall vs limited to the red line. If levels had been constant over plot interval at current level, we would have had most of the infections we did. Red line appears to be near the median now.

If you used the download manager:

"Free Download Manager"

Between 2020 - 2022 (perhaps even early 2023), you may have unknowingly installed a TROJAN targeting Linux.

This is concerning to me, since I used the program myself, last month. -- All reports seem to suggest the issue was resolved, before I used the program, but it still gives me pause.

I wish there was a working download manager that integrated with Mozilla Firefox, that was still being actively developed.

I use Linux and I use an anti-virus program.

Why?

1) I use Wine that allows Window programs.

While I am confident the Linux side would be safe and secure, the emulated "windows" side of things is something I would still be cautious about.

2) I would rather have it and not need it, then need it, and not have it.

Sure, Linux is likely never to be infected, but anything is possible. I believe you should expect the unexpected. And if anything, peace of mind.

@stonehead Hi! I'm glad you asked because I'm sure there are many more people wondering about the same thing! :)

Yes, there is always a risk when you download something from open sources. However, you really cannot trust official sources as well. A good example is Sony's rootkit scandal. [1][2]

Doing basic internet "hygiene" will prevent you from most viruses, though. Having a decent virus scanner will do wonders [3], and the rest comes down to common sense. Be very careful with executables, keep your software (like PDF readers) up to date, look for settings to turn off scripts and perhaps consider sanitizing your PDFs before opening them. [4][5]

An interesting point on the aforementioned website is the following:

"With budgets getting tighter, we understand the appeal of free antivirus software. While there have been great changes in free subscriptions, the most notable being they now offer real-time malware protection, they are still minimal compared to a full antivirus security suite.

There are some exceptions, but most free antivirus programs don't offer web protections. This means they won't stop malware from downloading if you accidentally click on a malicious link. They will snatch it before it has a chance to infract your computer, but we feel better than a threatening file doesn't get that far into the process."

I hope this helped you on your way, and if not, do let me know! :)

The plots show the concentrations of the #SARS2 #virus in #wastewater for #Spokane, which is the most populated area here in the eastern half of my state. I’ve added a red horizontal line showing where we are at with the numbers released today.

And where we are at is not good at all.

Go take another look at the plots. Note how much area is under the curve below that line. That area represents virus particles—how many and for how long. It represents damaged bodies and ruined lives. 3/

I’m going to ask you to boost the parent post to this because the information in it and in this thread is not being seen by 90% of our fellow citizens. These numbers are horrifying, as is the mass delusion that has taken over our entire society now about a dangerous airborne #virus that will infect you–vaccinated or not—in a matter of minutes just by being in the same room as someone who has it. And there are a lot of people who do.

Before proceeding, get those plots open or saved somewhere. 2/

Downloaded a virus for Linux lately and
unpacked it.
Tried to run it as root, didn't work.
Googled for 2 hours, found out that
instead of /usr/local/bin the virus
unpacked to /usr/bin for which the
user malware doesn't have any write
permissions, therefore the virus couldn't
create a process file.
Found patched . configure and .make
files on some Chinese forum, recompiled
Tem Cee
The virus said it needs the library
cmalw-lib-2.0. Turns out
cmalw-lib-2.0 is shipped with CentOS
but not with Ubuntu. Googled for hours
again and found an instruction to build
a .deb package from source.
The virus finally started, wrote some
logs, made a core dump and crashed.
After 1 hour of going through the logs
| discovered the virus assumed it was
running on ext4 and called into its disk
encryption API. Under btrfs this API
is deprecated. The kernel noticed and
made this partition read-only.
Opened the sources, grep'ed the Bitcoin
wallet and sent $5 out of pity.

"in most cases the symptoms are flu-like aches and pains so most people would not think to trouble their doctors if they felt unwell. But the disease is not always mild. The worst outbreak so far in #Europe was in Romania, when 800 suspected cases resulted in 17 deaths."

Happy birthday Rosalind Franklin (1920 – 1958), #chemist & x-ray #crystallographer whose x-ray diffraction images were instrumental to discovering double-helix structure of #DNA, made important contributions to #carbon & #virus research, was 1 of the great scientists of the 20th century.⁠

There's a joke amongst scientists that goes, "What did Watson and Crick discover?" "Rosalind Franklin's notes." But there’s more to the story.

My linocut portrait of Rosalind Franklin (1920 – 1958), in a gradient of magenta from her shoulders up through dark blue to her hair. Her necklace is a double helix of DNA. Her brooch is the Tobacco Mosaic Virus. The pattern on her jacket is based on her publication of the structure of non-graphitizing carbon.
⁠
Behind her in shades of robin’s egg blue is an image of the famous X-ray crystallographic Photo 51, produced by her grad student Gosling and important to deducing the structure of DNA.

@QasimRashid That supporter may well have gotten the stroke as a result of #SARS2 infection. Strokes are unfortunately a common outcome of #covid.

Which makes me ask—were you wearing a mask while speaking with that person? If not, why not? There’s about 1/3 as much virus circulating here in Eastern Washington as there’s been for most of the #pandemic. The #virus hasn’t gotten any less dangerous.

Hierzulande erkranken jeden Sommer Vögel, Pferde und Menschen am West-Nil-Virus, das von unserer heimischen Stechmücke übertragen wird. Durch den Klimawandel wird die Übertragung leichter. Katja Trippel mit einer virologischen Spurensuche (€):

OMG, I just had a run in with Google Assistant. I called a customer and the automated Assistant asks what I'm calling about. (Oy vey, I hate talking to computers!) Then it tries to ring the person. They don't answer. Then it switches me to voice mail. How. Annoying. And. What. A. Waste. Of. Time. Google has become a societal virus. #Google #Virus #GoogleVirus #DoNoHarm #LOL! #Right? #BringBackRotaryDialPhonesAndPartyLines!

A screen capture from the 1960's comedy TV show Laugh-in's switchboard operator Ernestine portrayed by Lily Tomlin. Ernestine "was a brash, tough and uncompromising telephone operator who generally treated customers with little sympathy. Ernestine often snorted when she let loose a barbed response or heard something salacious; she also wore her hair in a 1940s hairstyle with a hairnet, although the character was contemporary. Her opening lines were often the comical "one ringy dingy... two ringy dingy", and, "Have I reached the party to whom I am speaking?""

New this year are the first shots to protect older adults from #respiratory #syncytial #virus, a lesser-known threat whose toll in hospitalizations and deaths may rival that of flu.

Federal health officials are hoping that widespread use of these three vaccines will head off another “#tripledemic” of respiratory illnesses, like the one seen last winter.

For people with insurance, all of the vaccines should be available for free.
