Installation of Clamav on CentOS

ClamAV is an open source anti-virus engine for email scanning, web scanning, and end point security.
I installed it on my CentOS machine with the following steps:

#Enable EPEL repo
#yum install clamav clamd

#chkconfig clamd on
#service clamd start

#update pattern files
#/usr/bin/freshclam

#scan
#clamscan --infected --remove --recursive /home

# test using EICAR virus
# wget http://www.eicar.org/download/eicar.com
# clamscan --infected --remove --recursive .


You can write a cron job to configure a daily scan.

clamscan.sh
------------
#!/bin/bash
DIR_SCAN="/home"
LOG_FILE="/var/log/clamav/clamscan.log"

/usr/bin/clamscan -i -r $DIR_SCAN >> $LOG_FILE


#chmod +x /etc/cron.daily/clamscan.sh
