A running instance of Ubuntu Server 20.04ĬlamAV is not installed by default.SEE: Identity theft protection policy (TechRepublic Premium) What you'll need Once installed, we'll test it against the well-known Eicar test file and then we'll set up an automated task to run the scans. I'm going to walk you through the installation of ClamAV on Ubuntu Server 20.04. ClamAV is reliable, free, and easy to use. One of the many things you can do is install and use ClamAV, which is an open source antivirus engine for detecting trojans, viruses, malware, and other malicious threats. Because of that, you must take every precaution possible to prevent and/or detect issues. However, that doesn't mean it's invulnerable to malware and other types of attacks.

When Sentry detects a virus, it pops up an alert that allows you to either put the virus in quarantine (assuming you’ve set up a quarantine folder), move the file to the trash, or ignore the alert.
Telling Sentry which folders to watch involves dragging the folders into the ClamXav Sentry window, which can be a little cumbersome if you’re trying to select several folders at the same time. ClamXav Sentry, which was completely rewritten for ClamXav 1.1, sits in your menu bar when activated and silently watches over the folders you point it to. It would be nice if future updates prompted the user to set up an update check schedule upon installation.ĬlamXav’s spartan interface can be confusing, but the program gets the job done.Īn additional application that comes with ClamXav, called ClamXav Sentry, can be set to monitor folders in real time. So it’s possible that ClamXav’s scans could miss newer threats due to outdated definitions. Out of the box, ClamXav isn’t set up by default to check for updates. You can easily schedule scans and update virus definitions. The scanning didn’t make my Mac grind to a halt, but my computer was occasionally sluggish while switching and launching applications. While ClamXav scanned my Mac, I was able to use it normally however, I did notice slowdowns as the program scanned larger files.
