Anti Virus on Linux Box
I.T. WORLD - Open Source Corner
Monday, 04 January 2010 12:54

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 -
Password: ******

1. edit your source list
kutch@dorkbox:~$ vi /etc/apt/sources.list

2. Just append this line
deb http://volatile.debian.org/debian-volatile etch/volatile main contrib non-free

3. Update your Application Source
kutch@dorkbox:~$ apt-get update

4. Install the new ClamAV
kutch@dorkbox:~$ apt-get install clamav

Now you are done all you have to do is Scan your transfered files before that check if you are up-to-date
kutch@dorkbox:~$ freshclam

freshclam is use to update your anti-virus, you should see output something like this

Reading CVD header (main.cvd): OK
main.inc is up to date (version: 46, sigs: 231834, f-level: 26, builder: sven)

Once you are up to date then you are ready to scan your files
kutch@dorkbox:~$ clamscan -v -r -i /folde_you_want_to_scan

After the scanning you will see result something like this


----------- SCAN SUMMARY -----------
Known viruses: 279987
Engine version: 0.92.1
Scanned directories: 1925
Scanned files: 10041925
