What is ClamAV?

Clam AntiVirus is a GPL 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, a command line scanner, and a tool for automatic updating via Internet. The programs are based on a shared library distributed with the Clam AntiVirus package, which you can use with your own software. Most importantly, the virus database is kept up to date.

Let's start the installation/update

So if you're wanting to install or update ClamAV, heres how you do it! But hold on, this has only been tested on my main server that runs DirectAdmin so your user prefixes are completely different but I will point out when you should change something.

Lets start by getting the fresh (and new) file. This is from Kent in Europe. May be slow downloading if your server is far away from Europe. Now lets unpack it. Now get into it's directory. Now lets configure the installation and set it up! Now lets build it Then check to see if its installed correctly If it is, lets install it We'll clear some binary files and uother unused files now Now check to see if it's been updated It should say: All done!
