Installing and Running Clam Anti Virus in Linux
Linux doesn’t really need an anti-virus. It’s good to have one just in case that day arises, or to protect Windows computers that you maybe sharing files with.
First install clam.
1. su
2. Install
- On Suse: zypper in clamav
- On Fedora: yum install clamav
- On Ubunt/Debian: sudo apt-get install clamav
3. update the clamav signature database by running “freshclam” (this might take a few moments)
4. Now scan directories with clamscan “clamscan –recursive /home/username”
All done.
