Hi, I just installed ClamAv on a desktop Linux machine. I would like to set it up using aliases in the bashrc file, so I can do various kinds of file and directory scans from the command line. Rather than an unwieldy string of exclusions in the alias' command line, I would like to have a file that

I just ran a scan on my root drive, and had 3 hits. I ran each of them by VirusTotal, and each VT had ClamAV reporting them as Clean. The output here was: /home/paul/.config/vivaldi/Default/Extensions/kbmfpngjjgdllneeigpgjifpgocmfgmb/5.10.1_0/foreground.entry.js.map:

Thanks for the responses. > ask your distribution or use one with no broken repos This distro worked fine with Clam before I had a video driver problem. Restoring from image should have taken me back to safe ground, but for some reason it hasn't. I can ask at the distro, but I don't readily see

Hi guys, I had ClamAV up and running fine, but there was a problem and I had to restore the system from an earlier image. Everything is running fine, but now I can't install ClamAV. The system is MX Linux 17 (Debian 9.3) x64. I tried installing from the MX repo, which has CAV 99.2, and got the

[clamav-users] Freshclam slows down boot on MX Linux (Debian)

2019-08-12 Thread Paul B. via clamav-users
I've been finding for some time now that I have a 10-15 second delay before my machine settles down after a boot. It doesn't always happen, but usually does. Perhaps it's a first boot of the day issue, I'm not sure. But on opening Task manager I see that it is Freshclam consistently causing the

2019-08-13 Thread Paul B. via clamav-users
First boot-up today, and the problem persists without any change, so apparently network unavailability is not a factor in my case (the connection is always made very early after the desktop appears). Somehow a delay on boot would have to be programmed into the Freshclam scheduler in order to solve
