I have a box set up for home use, but it was used as a massive file share for a bunch of friends. I only allowed 3 accounts to this share with password. I believe over time someone loaded a file that had the win32:Tenga virus on it. I usually clean the files and download what I need but I leave the files on the Share. I have lots of directories and files on this. I have been using Trend Micro from a remote windows box to clean them periodically but for some reason it rears it ugly head every once and a while. What can I do to permanently get rid of this annoying virus?? Thanks

Add Dag's rpmforge repo, yum install clamav, and read /usr/share/doc/clamav-0.88.6/clamdoc.pdf or http://www.clamav.net/doc/latest/clamdoc.pdf for usage.
All you will probably have to do is tweak the config a bit (if even that) and set a cronjob to run it occasionally.
Other packages such as clamav-milter and clamd are useful if you are running a mail server and you want to to virus checking on inbound and outbound mail.
