I tried synaptic days ago.  I will do it now to send you exactly what I get in 
response to an attempt to install virus software.  That is foolish.  Sure, I 
can get synaptic, but I am on my laptop.  Unless I can get synaptic and put it 
on the other computer so that I can install it, I   h a v e   n o   connection  
on the offended computer.  Both GUI and command line require a connection to 
the Internet to install a package.

Do you remember that when installing a program on windows, you used a CD and 
installed it that way.  That is what I need this time.  I need a CD that has 
an unexecuted virus application in it, so I can first get the data into the 
other computer, then execute the installation.  I do not seem to be able to 
get anyone to understand this need.  We are all so used to applying 
applications by  clicking kdesudo apt-get install ......... or entering the 
name of the application into a package manager and clicking apply, that we 
don't apparently realize that that is all taking place over the Internet.  I 
no longer have that connection in the affected computer; I can't move the 
application into my computer to install it.
