Its a well known fact that my laptop is schizophrenic. Sometimes after rebooting the device, a complete new side of its personality comes up. There is the well known Ubuntu side, but also the evil side (I think its called Windows 7, or something like that).

From time to time its necessary to medicate the Win7 personality because the dark side is getting stronger and stronger.
Personally I like to to this when the evil side is sleeping (And Ubuntu is up and running). Why? Ok lets see:

• No evil things running on the Win7 can disturb or dupe the doctor
• The doctor is sure to clean up everything

I use ClamAV as doctor. How to make a appointment:
sudo apt-get install clamav
Send the doctor to a course. So we can be sure he is up to date with all known infections:
sudo freshclam
Figure out where the evil side is located on the hard disc (/mnt/win7). Then send the doctor to his house and let em clean it up recursively (-r)
clamscan -r -l scanres.txt --remove=no /mnt/win7 > scanlog.txt

The doctor will write a final report to ./scanres.txt and a documentation of what he reviewed to ./scanlog.txt
It’s also possible to tell the doctor to cut out all infected parts automatic with: –remove=yes But you should think about that. He will cut it, regardless what is infected.

I think this is a good way to treat my Laptop and keep it clean.
