Package: clamav (0.90.1-2)

antivirus scanner for Unix

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 commandline scanner in the clamav package, and a tool for automatic updating via Internet through the clamav-freshclam package. The programs are based on libclamav2, which you can use in your own software.

This package contains the command line interface. It has:

  * built-in support for RAR (2.0), Zip, Gzip, Bzip2, Tar, MS OLE2, MS Cabinet
    files, MS CHM (Compressed HTML), MS SZDD
  * built-in support for mbox, Maildir and raw mail files
  * built-in support for Portable Executable files compressed with UPX, FSG,
    and Petite

For scanning to work you'll need a virus database. You have 2 alternatives:

 * clamav-freshclam: updates the database from Internet. This is
   recommended if you have Internet access.
 * clamav-data: for users without Internet access.  Isn't updated at all
   once it's installed. You can easily create your own updated package from
   an Internet connected computer however, using clamav-getfiles.
