[Project]

Clam AntiVirus 0.90 (Default)

Section: Unix

Added: Wed, May 8th 2002 05:45 UTC (6 years, 2 months ago)

Updated: Mon, Jul 7th 2008 20:29 UTC (13 days ago)

About:
Clam AntiVirus is an anti-virus toolkit designed especially for email scanning on mail gateways. It provides a number of utilities, including a flexible and scalable multi-threaded daemon, a commandline scanner, and a tool for automatic database updates. The core of the package is an anti-virus engine available as a shared library.

Release focus: Major feature enhancements

Changes:
The 0.9x series introduces many improvements in terms of detection rate and performance, like support for many new packers and decryptors, RAR3 and SIS archives, and a new phishing signature format that proves to be very effective. To cope with the increasing size of the database and with the high frequency of new CVD releases, freshclam now supports scripted updates. The new experimental code can be tested by using "./configure --enable-experimental" at compile time. Email decoding has been improved to reduce both the memory requirements and the time taken to process attachments.

[»] no clamd daemon - PLEASE HELP
by lukeiam - Aug 17th 2006 19:35:06

I've installed via yum clamav on fc5 and I got everything besides clamd. I have clamd manual but no daemon. I have clamd in /usr/sbin but when I try to run it from there - instead of "service clamd start" - it tells me clamd.conf does not exist. when I run "service clamd start" it says clamd not recongnized...

please help...

Great software! Easy to use. A daemon, some command line tools, two configuration files. Excellent documentation (incl. man pages).

The classic UNIX way: small and beautiful.

And it works and is really fast. :)

Why do you think so ? If you have problems accessing the main site you should setup freshclam to use the clamav.ozforces.com mirror for database updates.

What's wrong with the main site?
Clamav users like me are having problems to update the virus database with freshclam.
Is there a way to set up freshclam with a mirror?
How can we check the validity of a mirror?

There are two official mirrors: clamav.essentkabel.com (updated automatically from elektrapro) and clamav.ozforces.com (updated manually). The newest freshclam (http://clamav.elektrapro.com/snapshot) or http://clamav.ozforces.com/clamav-20030403.tar.gz switches to the mirror automatically.
