The program is also able to use code from the gsd-xsetting for some type of "god sharing" so that it can see my screen.

The program has caused my servers to crash and has actually downloaded the drives and made the drive unusable.

I don't know how to explain all the details of what I can see from the entities, but I'll glad explain what I can to any interested party.

If I could see what the program is doing to grab the gsd-xsetting from the good sharing (by blocking it) that would be a start.

Thanks in advance for anyone who has a concept on this!

Download an antivirus for Linux, take the machine off-line, and run a scan. Several reputable outfits offer Linux antivirus programs.

It's probably a good idea to take your email out of your signature to make it harder for spammers to harvest it.

Thank you for your diligent information.

The computers are offline. The drives with the virus are on a drive while the computer is offline. I go through the development of the data by looking at the development so that I can point the disposition.

There's something about the snapd/snap that allows the system to actually communication with my computer, without it being online. When running the data (with the computer offline) the drives moves back and forth while it's trying to find the content of the files that are on the data (by the file name or other names that have been created).

The drive makes noise while the drive is trying to identify the files with the date name.

The drive is trying to alert me that it can't find the files, which it's actually offline and trying to identify.

There's something about the snapd/snap that is operating while the file is offline.

I uninstall the files by the time it finished. The data statement is that the files are getting their data from the gnome, while the files are actually offline.

By the way, I have been trying to figure this out for a month. The screen name you see in my signature is over a month old. It doesn't have any of the current information that has to do with my actual files.

Thanks!

I have not used snap or flatpak (and have no intention to do so), but I found this link that might be relevant: https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2018/05/ubuntu-snap-malware

Thanks, Frankbell. It works perfect.

I hope I can get back into Ubuntu, but in the meantime, it's a welcome to be able to go back to Linux without having to do it via Windows 10 with the virus protection.

Have a nice day!
