selecting and deleting multiple viruses in one go.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Please suggest a way to delete detected viruses when multiple viruses are 
found, selecting and deleting each one is very tedious when (sometimes) viruses 
are found in hundreds.

I am using Mint 17

Hi,

Be very careful quarantining and/or deleting files especially those identified 
as PUAs.  I recommend doing one of the following:

1. do *not* scan for PUAs (remove the selection from Settings)
2. get a second opinion - upload some of them to Virustotal and see what comes 
back as a result

This is actually the reason why I removed the "quarantine all" and "delete all" 
from the options - so you'd have to think about it first.

I understand that it seems like a good thing to do that, but it could be a 
mistake on a Linux system to do that.

Thanks,
Dave M

I agree. It could be dangerous to do that in Linux. But case in point is
scanning large flaah drives or non Linux partitions. It is then that the
necessity of "Delete/quarantine" all is felt. Hope you will do a rethink on
the issue.
Thanks.

Ok, I'll look at it and see if there's a smart way of doing it.

Thanks,

Sorry, one more thing if you're still there: I just caught that "non Linux 
partitions" thing you mentioned.  I *really* recommend you do *not* use this on 
anything other than Linux systems.  I don't have the resources to test that.
