Everyone will say why you need Anti Virus on your Linux box? Well in this case the Linux box I installed is for File Server and mainly computers connected on it are Microsoft based and I don't want to format every time their Microsoft PC's. Here's what I did I did fresh install Debian with Samba for file server and loaded approximately 200 GB of data files that contains Picture, Video, Documents and whole lot more from Microsoft box.
After the installation and file transfer I decided to install Anti-Virus and I decided to put ClamAV and just follow their instruction click here but I will simplify here; you must be root kutch@dorkbox:~$ su - 1. edit your source list 2. Just append this line 3. Update your Application Source 4. Install the new ClamAV Now you are done all you have to do is Scan your transfered files before that check if you are up-to-date freshclam is use to update your anti-virus, you should see output something like this
Once you are up to date then you are ready to scan your files |
