Kubuntu 15.04 stabilized quite a bit, however recently, the widget for 'notes' started to appear on screen. They increaced in quantity until at least 25 overlapping, yellow, empty notes would appear.
Sometimes when I right-clicked on a note image, the choice to quit would be offered. When I selected the option that note would leave. Many times when I right-clicked on a note image, the selection menu would appear, by that, I mean the one that allows you to resize or close the note or move to another place on the screen, or by selecting 'X' close the pop-up. Some times when I clicked on the X the note would leave, many times it would not answer the instruction, and I would have to restart the computer to continue.
When I searched to find if this was a common event and bug in the new distribution, I did not find any discussion on the subject. Since I have gone several days with a nicely functioning Kubuntu 15.04 distribution, I do not know how to value this problem. The funny thing is that it acts like a virus, not a bug, and in my 20 or so years with Kubuntu, I have never had a virus or the need to install virus software.
Still, I did install clamav, I installed everything, so I may have installed apps that caused it not to work. In any event, after Muon suggested a successful GUI install, I tried to find it in the menu. I could not, so I pressed Alt+ F2 and typed in clamav. It did not appear as an option or respond to pressing the enter key. I then opened a konsole and entered 'clamav' in the command line and nothing opened. So, Muon says it is there, but my computer says it is not.
That has never happened before either, kind of supporting the idea of a virus, at least as I remember from using Windows.
I certainly do not want to blame the new Kubuntu distribution if a virus has somehow been able to infect my Linux system, but I also don't want to leave the idea we are vulnerable to virus attack either. Any ideas are most welcome. Thanks! Shab
