Description Aaron Peterson 2003-04-26 20:10:12 UTC
my cpu bar has 100% cpu used with 70% of it red the rest blue.

I'm running KDE
edonkey
apache

the system is still responsive.

I've had other problems with this system (alpeterson@wsu.edu submitted)
I don't know what lscan-worm is... but I killed it and it came back... and it
says WORM in in.

I could not locate any worm program 

top says:

I kill it, and it comes back.
Comment 1 Aaron Peterson 2003-04-26 20:18:27 UTC
I ran updatedb 

it found lscan-worm in /usr/lib/

/usr/lib/lscan-worm

another anomoly on my system is when I use my 2nd monitor and type in a window, and then move back to my normal monitor, the text focus remains in the other window untill I minimize and restore the window on the normal monitor.

emerge gentoolkit
qpkg -f /usr/lib/lscan-worm

seems like it's a virus-scanner
Comment 3 Martin Holzer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-05-13 13:18:39 UTC
prez: is this a virus scanner ?
Comment 4 Wolfram Schlich (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-10-19 05:58:03 UTC
Google for it, it's not a virus scanner.
Comment 5 Mr. Bones. (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-11-08 21:44:41 UTC
Seems to me like this bug should be closed.  It's not a bug in a package
in
portage.
Comment 6 Mr. Bones. (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-11-11 14:14:52 UTC
Since it's virus and not a bug with a Gentoo package I'm going to close as
INVALID.
Comment 7 Brandon Hale (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-11-11 14:46:11 UTC
hi. would you try a "grep -r lscan-worm /" as root and let us know of anything
suspcious?
note that this will take awhile... thanks ;)
