Hi! I'm brand new to the forums so I apologize for jumping in before reading everything, but if there is anyone around who can help me, I'm trying to devote this afternoon (Eastern time, USA) to helping a friend remove a scam popup from his Linux machine. I created a disc yesterday filled with malware removal tools, each of which said they were Linux compatible, but am not familiar enough with Linux-type OS yet to know how to run them, or if they can even BE run on this setup.
The distro is Zorin 10-RC, created with those converting from Windows to Linux in mind. (It's amazing, you'll have to check it out.) And even though I love it, I simply do not know enough about working with Linux architecture to know how to do this.
If there's anyone out there who is available and can help, I'll answer any questions you need answered.
I'm looking through my notes now and I do not believe this machine was set up with a dual boot system. I think it's purely Linux, so I was kind of shocked that it could contract this popup.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give. I'll be reading everything I can find until I hear from someone.
