[clamav-users] Unix.Trojan.ElkKnot FOUND

[DUCARROZ Birgit]

oops, the first time I should do this. Using ubuntu, is there something 
easy like an apt-get to install, or maybe a shell script that is able to 
create md5s or sha256s?
I read this article http://forums.clamwin.com/viewtopic.php?t=4007 but 
this does not really help me.
Suggestions how to create md5 or sha256 hashes are welcome!
