Solved - I would like to install clam

maary79 · posted: 2014-02-18 15:38

Hello, I would like to install clam antivirus to check for a file to send by e-mail.
I read that a virus or spyware can not hit Linux while surfing the internet.
From Sinaptyc I tried clam, and there are many voices, what should I install?
thanks __{{emoticon}}__

Because AntiX is based on Debian

====================================

The clamav in synaptic should suffice. It will pull in what is needed when you hit apply.

# apt-get update

#apt-get install clamav

this will install following packages

clamav clamav-base clamav-freshclam libbz2-1.0 libclamav1 libcurl3 libgmp3 libidn11 ucf

at the time of installation it will prompt for the following questions

Virus database update method:daemon

Local Database mirror site:db.local.clamav.net

HTTP proxy information (leave blank for none):none

Should clamd be notified after updates? yes

Manually update virus databases

#freshclam

ClamAV update process started at Mon Sep 11 16:27:40 2006
main.cvd is up to date (version: 40, sigs: 64138, f-level: 8, builder: tkojm)
daily.cvd is up to date (version: 1859, sigs: 4556, f-level: 8, builder: ccordes)

Auto-updating Virus Databases

freshclam is the default database updater for Clam AntiVirus. It can work in two modes

interactive -- from command line, verbosely

daemon -- alone, silently

Is this to scan your email for personal use (with claws-mail or icedove) or on a mail server ?
I would be carefull and make sure which one you would like, there are many many many how tos that will steer you in many many many directions.
The link rocky provided will setup clam av, but not for email. It is just for generic file scaning / AV of the local machine, not really ideal for email only.
If is is for claws mail email client then you are probably best to install the claws mail plugin (claws-mail-clamd-plugin). Likewise for icedove or similar....
If it is for an email server, then we will need to know what server you are planning to use (postfix / sendmail / qmail / etc.....).

@Dave

I read the email from the server and upload or download files from the server. I would like to understand how it works clam, even if I do a system scan, and as you upgrade.
Thanks.

On the menu I can not find a trace of clam .

If you have not auto updated menu

Code: Select all

which clamav

if it spits out

Code: Select all

/usr/bin

or

Code: Select all

/usr/local/bin

you can launch it from terminal with

Code: Select all

$ clamscan <myfile goes here>

I had already selected some packages a few days ago with synaptic .

Was one of them clamtk? The graphical frontend for clamav.

It won't be in the menu if just a command line clamav install.

I did not understand, I have to give this command:

Code: Select all

andrea@antiX1:~
$ which clamav
andrea@antiX1:~
$

It does not show anything.

ClamTk has not been installed.

Thanks.

It does not show anything.

Then try

Code: Select all

locate clamav

Maybe A spacefm plugin for clamav would serve you better.

ClamAV Scan

Scan the selected files/folders with ClamAV, the open source (GPL) antivirus engine.

Requirements: clamav

Download: tarball

Feedback/suggestions to fabertawe, please see the README for contact details and further info.

The struggle here for me is that I don't run a Anti-Virus engine on my AntiX installs.

Is what I would look into synaptic for to see if they were installed.
If not. I would install them. If anything else other than I show on my list is installed also.
It is because I am not awake yet and missed any dependencies needed
for any packages. Ignore any other installs showing not on my list as they are a bonus and no need to worry about them.

Then try
Code: Select all
locate clamav
Maybe A spacefm plugin for clamav would serve you better.

ClamAV Scan

Scan the selected files/folders with ClamAV, the open source (GPL) antivirus engine.

Requirements: clamav

Download: tarball

Feedback/suggestions to fabertawe, please see the README for contact details and further info.
The struggle here for me is that I don't run a Anti-Virus engine on my AntiX installs.

^---- embedded YouTube-hosted video: https://www.youtube.com/jR3CmHJr23Q?list=PL628AB8A7B7A877D8

I downloaded the file, then the guide is on the web page you tube? I have a problem with flash, I can not see the video.
When I solve the problem, I look.

Thanks

Ok, I have installed:

clamav-base
claws-mail-clamd-plugin
clamav-milter
clamav-testfiles
clamav-freshclam
clam-daemon
clam-tk
libclamav6
libclamunrar6
clamav
clamassassins

However, I still do not see any entry for clam ... for example: if I have a file to check in to a folder, I click right button .... but there is no voice like:"check file with clam"
Bye
