Information

Package: clamav
Summary: An anti-virus utility for Unix
Description: Clam AntiVirus is an anti-virus toolkit for Unix. The main purpose of this software is the integration with mail seversions (attachment scanning). The package provides a flexible and scalable multi-threaded daemon, a commandline scanner, and a tool for automatic updating via Internet. The programs are based on a shared library distributed with the Clam AntiVirus package, which you can use in your own software.

Test Scenarios

Test case 1

This is a simple test scenario that makes sure clamd, clamscan, clamdscan, and freshclam all work.

Install clamav and clamd then perform the following commands:

# service clamd start
# service clamd status
# freshclam
# service freshclam start
# service freshclam status
# clamscan /tmp
# clamdscan /tmp

First we start clamd, and make sure it's running. Then we execute freshclam to make sure it can download updates and also properly notifies clamd of the updates. Next we start the freshclam service to make sure it runs. Finally we issue two quick scans on /tmp with clamscan and clamdscan (note that if there are files in /tmp that clamdscan can't scan due to permissions, it will give an error and look like it didn't work; you can ensure clamdscan works correctly by telling it to scan one particular file rather than the directory, that is world-readable).
