There are gratis proprietary scanners for GNU/Linux, I've used BitDefender's with some success and only a couple of minor issues. But cleaning up after malware is as messy and unreliable on GNU/Linux as it is on Windows, you are probably better with the roll back to backup, make sure that is clean, then find what caused the issue. Establish the point of infection, use Virustotal to ensure the offending files are identified and reported to researchers. If you can tell us the sites it was contacting, or provide files with malware in we can probably tell you what it was, but if it is a trojan the machine may have been abused in other ways. If you have Personally Identifying information which might present a risk to the people involved your data controller may need to contact the ICO. https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/report-a-breach/ If you are struggling to clean up, it may make sense to disconnect and store the affected systems till you can get assistance in understanding what has happened from someone with more experience, depending on the sensitivity of the material at risk. -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG https://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
