Need help on Clam AV fo RH9


I installed ClamAV!
But i dun noe how to run it. I am a Linux Newbie so pls explain in detail.

root@localhost clam]# rpm -ivh clamav-0.70-1.i386.rpm
warning: clamav-0.70-1.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 6cdf2cc1
Preparing... ########################################### [100%]
1:clamav ########################################### [100%]
You have new mail in /var/spool/mail/root

[root@localhost root]# clam
bash: clam: command not found

I then did a search on my folders for ClamAV
And i found "logwatch" in /etc/log.d
i ran it but nothing happen?

[root@localhost root]# cd /etc/log.d
[root@localhost log.d]# logwatch
[root@localhost log.d]#

Thankyou!

try /usr/local/bin/clamscan to scan a file, and /usr/local/sbin/clamd to start the daemon.

I use Clam AV quite frequently to run a full system-wide scan of my hard drive and since I don't use the Clam AV daemon (clamd), I usually do two things...

First, I update the virus signature file by running...

[root@localhost root]# freshclam

Then, to actually scan the entire contents of my hard drive, I do...

[root@localhost root]# clamscan -r -i --mbox /

'/' is the directory you want to start the scan in (in this case, the root directory)
'-r' tells clamscan that you want to do a recursive scan
'-i' tells clamscan that you only want it to list files where something is wrong
'--mbox' tells clamscan to scan files within your Mail directories

All of these options can be found by typing

[root@localhost root]# clamscan --help

Hope that helped.
