Clam AntiVirus is an anti-virus toolkit for Unix. The main purpose of this software is the integration with mail servers (attachment scanning). The package provides a flexible and scalable multi-threaded daemon in the clamav-daemon package, a command-line scanner in the clamav package, and a tool for automatic updating via the Internet in the clamav-freshclam package. The programs are based on libclamav, which can be used by other software.

This package contains the command line interface. Features: - built-in support for various archive formats, including Zip, Tar, Gzip, Bzip2, OLE2, Cabinet, CHM, BinHex, SIS and others; - built-in support for almost all mail file formats; - built-in support for ELF executables and Portable Executable files compressed with UPX, FSG, Petite, NsPack, wwpack32, MEW, Upack and obfuscated with SUE, Y0da Cryptor and others; - built-in support for popular document formats including Microsoft Office and Mac Office files, HTML, RTF and PDF.

For scanning to work, a virus database is needed. There are two options for getting it: - clamav-freshclam: updates the database from Internet. This is recommended with Internet access. - clamav-data: for users without Internet access. The package is not updated once installed. The clamav-getfiles package allows creating custom packages from an Internet-connected computer.

Simple. Working fine to scan a file or a directory.

Yes, you have to scan files yourself... no "constant security sweeps" etc., which is perfectly fine for me. It seems to work (? no idea, actually) and with the GUI extension it's very comfortable. Good job, thank you :)

Installed by command line interface very easily, and ran well. I also installed a separate GUI and that was fine (ClamTk) but the command line is compeletely servisable. The installaiton was easy, I found remembering the commands to run and check to be hard to remember, but how hard is it to remember "clamscan --help" ?

C'est une passoire! Comodo On access + Bitdefender On Demand est une des meilleures solutions sur Linux.

This is made for one-time scans, specifically for people who share with Windows computers (p2p or directly by USB) so you don't unintentionally spread malware by media or other files. It's not intended to be a background process that scans regularly and has real-time protection. It's not bad considering all of that.

The purpose of ClamAV is to stop linux users giving windows users virus infected e-mails when running a linux server! Stop complaining!

This is the only open source anti-virus that I know of. On Demand Scanning only, and very slow. It is good to have on a Live CD or a 2nd partition, just in case your Windows partition is disabled by a virus. This might let you save your system.
