To configure properly clamav antivirus you shuold edit the config files you
will
find in the 'etc' directory where clamav is installed.
Assuming you're using a Linux Operating System edit:
clamd.conf
freshclam.conf
To scan the entire hard disk you can try this:
clamscan / -r -i (the scan takes much time)
the -r flag tells clamav to scan each directory recursively
the -i flag tells clamav to show on the screen informations of the infected
files only
/ is the path you want to scan and in this example represents the root mount
point of your hard drive
but if you have other HD mounted elsewhere, substitute / with the correct path
pointing to the desired device.
To see all the options recognized by clamscan type:
clamscan --help

Alessandro Volturno.
