I'm a basic user running Ubuntu 14.04.3 32 bit. I know I have a virus embedded in 1 mp3 I copied from my friend 2 years ago. It's no problem for this system, but it has killed 2 mp3 players & a tablet. The Android scanner couldn't find it. The only virus scanner I can find for Ubuntu is for e-mail. I have 5.4 gigs of mp3's. How do I locate the malware embedded in the mp3?

  • You can run the file command on these files and see which one doesn't identify as an mp3. Something like find /path/to/mp3/folder -type f -exec file -Nk {} + | grep -vi audio – muru Dec 23 '15 at 03:23
  • Can you give me step by step directions on how do I run the file command? – Ka Fish Dec 23 '15 at 04:50
