It is a security requirement that needs to be done. Thank you for this advice. I worked on your idea and it worked. I got a go between and voila! The Clamscan worked beautifully. Thank you guys.
Just some more questions: 1. How do I automate these scheduled scans? 2. Is there a way to get alerts of scan reports, virus detected etc. especially via mail?

A system which is not connected to the Internet might not need to be scanned by ClamAV at all, but there's little harm to be done (if it's done carefully) and perhaps something to be learned. If it is _not_ done carefully, using ClamAV might pose a danger to the system. It appears that you do not yet have a signature database. This is not surprising if the box is not connected to the Internet - most users of ClamAV will be using boxes which have Internet access, because that's where most of the threats come from, and ClamAV and its documentation mostly, but not always, assume that's the case. Normally if there are boxes which have no Internet access one would use a separate system as a sor of 'go-between' to download the database files, and make these files available from the go-between to boxes which are prevented from talking directly to the Internet. This is usually called a local mirror, and is covered in the ClamAV documentation online here: https://www.clamav.net/documents/private-local-mirrors You won't be surprised to know that there's more than one way to do it. :) It is not essential to use freshclam to do the downloads, you can even do it manually, but using freshclam it is easier to manage. Why do you think you need to scan the box? -- 73, Ged. _______________________________________________ clamav-users mailing list clamav-users@lists.clamav.net https://lists.clamav.net/mailman/listinfo/clamav-users Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: https://github.com/vrtadmin/clamav-faq http://www.clamav.net/contact.html#ml - _______________________________________________ clamav-users mailing list clamav-users@lists.clamav.net https://lists.clamav.net/mailman/listinfo/clamav-users Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: https://github.com/vrtadmin/clamav-faq http://www.clamav.net/contact.html#ml
