So I ran ClamAV a while back and as usual it identified four Win.32 files from usr/lib/momo/4.0mscorlib.dll as potentially dodgy. (Same files as this questioner had: http://askubuntu.com/questions/583729/clamav-pua-win32-packer-privateexeprot... ) My questions are 1) Are they dangerous? Opinion seems divided on this. 2) If I deleted them anyway, just in case, would I do my system any harm? Bev.

Right, so it's mono and not momo.
My questions are
1) Are they dangerous? Opinion seems divided on this.
2) If I deleted them anyway, just in case, would I do my system any harm?
1) Probably not - can you compare them with a clean copy? 2) I suspect some mono apps would stop working.
