how to so I can remove it :: /home/michael/ .config/opera/Default/adblocker_rules.json: Sanesecurity.Phishing.Fake.Coin.32024.UNOFFICIAL FOUND

Asked by michael

On Ubuntu 20.04 Pro, ClamAV found this [ /home/michael/ .config/opera/Default/adblocker_rules.json: Sanesecurity.Phishing.Fake.Coin.32024.UNOFFICIAL FOUND ] I have not been able to find this file to remove it. Because I don't use Opera often, I removed it completely. Still ClamAV finds it.

Thank You

Open a terminal window (e.g. by simultaneously pressing ctrl-alt-t) and issue the command

ls -la ~/.config/opera/Default/ad*

What output do you receive?

I'm guessing it's a false positive. You can have ClamAV devs investigate it: https://www.clamav.net/reports/fp

If you have already removed opera, then you will not need that file any more. You can delete it and all other private data belonging to opera with the command

rm -rfv /home/michael/.config/opera

I checked the site you gave, they said it was not a false positive. I was thinking it was.
