      Then it’s probably just more. Again: your post did not contain enough information for anyone to provide an answer to your question.

      Antivirus doesn’t do what it promises. The only general solution for a compromised system is a clean reinstall. (This is true in Windows too.)

      There are several antivirus solutions for Linux, but you shouldn’t need them if you do not execute stuff you downloaded outside of your package manager. The maintainers of your distribution are supposed to check if their packages contain viruses.
