Malware Scans
====================================================================================
ClamAV
ClamAV is a widely used open-source antivirus engine designed for detecting viruses, malware, and other threats on Linux systems.
ClamAV Usage
Update the clamscan malware database.
freshclam
Start a clamscan
clamscan [options] /path/to/scan
Depending on the size of the path you're scanning, the scan can take a while. It would be worth running the scan in a screen to ensure that the process isn't interrupted or killed when your session closes.
Start a new screen: screen
Show screens: screen -ls
Connect to existing screen: screen -r name
