ClamAV is aimed more for email scanning. Besides the scales are still tipped towards Microsoft OS's and Internet Explorer. Even stuff aimed at Firefox is still aimed at Firefox under Windows, not under *nix. This is exactly what I intend to use clamav for. But perhaps email scanning is not what I think it is. I receive files through e-mail, internet downloads and usb sticks which I redistribute to various users and I want to be sure that what I send out is free from vira. Won't clamav do the job?

[Clamav-users] Newbie question.
I am running fedora 10, thunderbird 2.0.0.9 and firefox 3.0.7 and I would like to install clamav to catch vira which might enter the system through TB or FF. The calmav user manual has not been very helpful in this respect, so I would like to hear if someone could point me to a howto with specific information on installation and configuration. Thanks in advance Erik. -- Erik P. Olsen, M.Sc. EE.

[Clamav-users] /etc/clamd.conf question.
When I launch clamd I get an error message saying: Please define server type (local and/or TCP). How and where do I define that? Erik. -- Erik P. Olsen, M.Sc. EE.

How can I run clamav and sigtool? Do locate clamdoc.pdf and when found read it. You find clamav in both /usr/bin and /usr/sbin, the binary you'll use is clamscan. What you do with sigtool I don't know. -- Erik. ___ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html

That worked. - I then tried to run make but I keep getting the error: target not found.

[Clamav-users] clamd.conf question.
Hi, I am new on clamav and I have a few questions on some of the items in the clamd.conf file: 1. LocalSocket must be specified, it says, but what is it used for and what would it normally be? 2. TCPAddr. Again, I don't know what it is used for and what INADDR_ANY is. 3. DetectPUA. What sort of applications is detected with this setting? Would someone be kind enough as to clarify these questions for me? Thanks in advance, -- Erik. ___ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
