Before you can run ClamAV in daemon mode (clamd), 'clamdscan',
|
|
|
|
|
or 'clamscan' which is ClamAV's command line virus scanner,
|
|
|
|
|
you must have ClamAV Virus Database (.cvd) file(s) installed
|
|
|
|
|
in the appropriate location on your system. The default
|
|
|
|
|
location for these database files are /usr/local/share/clamav
|
|
|
|
|
(in Linux/Unix).

Here is a listing of currently available ClamAV Virus Database Files:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<UL>
|
|
|
|
|
<LI>bytecode.cvd (signatures to detect bytecode in files)
|
|
|
|
|
</LI>
|
|
|
|
|
<LI>main.cvd (main ClamAV virus database file)
|
|
|
|
|
</LI>
|
|
|
|
|
<LI>daily.cvd (daily update file for ClamAV virus databases)
|
|
|
|
|
</LI>
|
|
|
|
|
<LI>safebrowsing.cvd (virus signatures for safe browsing)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
</LI>

|
|
|
These files can be downloaded via HTTP from the main ClamAV website
|
|
|
|
|
or via the 'freshclam' utility on a periodic basis. Using 'freshclam'
|
|
|
|
|
is the preferred method of keeping the ClamAV virus database files
|
|
|
|
|
up to date without manual intervention (see section <A HREF="node25.html#conf:freshclam">4.4</A> for
|
|
|
|
|
information on how to configure 'freshclam' for automatic updating and section
|
|
|
|
|
<A HREF="node35.html#sec:freshclam">5.7</A> for additional details on freshclam).
