3.1. What is ClamAV?
From the ClamAV website:
"Clam AntiVirus is a
GPL anti-virus toolkit for UNIX. The main purpose
of this software is the integration with mail servers (attachment scanning).
The package provides a flexible and scalable multi-threaded daemon, a command
line scanner, and a tool for automatic updating via Internet. The programs
are based on a shared library distributed with the Clam AntiVirus package,
which you can use with your own software. Most importantly, the virus
database is kept up to date."
