Description

Provides ClamAV tools for scanning files, updating virus signatures, and integrating malware checks into mail, file, or server workflows. It is commonly used on Unix-like systems for on-demand or automated scanning.

Use it as one layer of defense, especially for shared files or mail gateways. Detection depends on signatures and configuration, so keep databases updated and do not rely on it as the only security control.

How to run
