Hi.
For my MailScanner I use Clamav, that works execellent.
Is it also possible to have Clamav to scan one's harddisk for viruses ?
Question : why would you want to do that?
If the answer is A. You want to use clamav as desktop scanner At the moment it is not recomended to use clamav as desktop scanner. If you want to experiment anyway, you can try activating clamuko (requires linux + dazuko) which enables clamav as on-access file scanner.
B. You just want to scan your harddisk for virus
See other posts. It would involve something like clamdscan / or clamscan -r /
Note that it is useless to scan /proc and /dev (and in many cases /usr), so
what you need is probably clamdscan /home.
C. You want to scan your harddisk for virus regularly Although a cron job will do, it will take lots of CPU power to do this. An on-access scanner should be the way to do this.
