Adam, hi there clamAV is NOT a real time ant-virus application. If you copy an infected file onto you disk then is will be copied across without saying anything.
1. go to your favourite xterm 2. log in as root 3. execute the command "freshclam" 4. when it finishes you need to run scans from time to time, now that you have executed a freshclam the daily database should be updates regularly - check Yast>system run levels - expert mode. after 5.still as root execute "clamscan - h" This will give you the options you need to scan. If you have more than 30GB of program and data and you scan the lot - let it run overnight - it just might be finished in the morning and the end will contain a -v verbose summary or you can use the "-move=/home/xx/ quarantine" and if anything is found it will be moved the the directory specified, however the directory must exist first. There is a GUI version of clamAV You can search Yast software for KlamAV or see the website http://www.klamav.net or http://www.clamav.net for the xterm Its Beta software and version 0.4.14.1 as it is would have cost me my job in the past despite its beta status and is the absolute worst GUI interface as far as usability/flexibility/performance/adaptability I have ever seen despite its BETA status. 1. You think the xterm scan is slow...just wait. 2. try to load the real-time-agent - I could not. 3. Try and clean an infected file - you cannot. 4. Ignore the little spider top right corner - it contains all the browser script errors - and it uses Konqueror's browsing setting to communicate with the internet so if you have stuffed that up your KlamAV browser wont work 5.The only email it will protect is Kmail. 6.Good luck in loading the auto-scan option 7.If you try to suspend you PC it will not be able to halt the KLamAV application and it will sit in limbo - to get out hit you off button on you PC for 1 second (and I mean 1 second - its quite long)only and your session should restore. 8. It is pretty! Hope this helps Scott Adam Jimerson wrote: > Does clamav log everything it outputs by default or do you have to tell it to > do so in the syntax?
