You gotta point. So I changed the command to be: clamscan -r
----------- SCAN SUMMARY ----------- Known viruses: 7286 Scanned directories: 36 Scanned files: 349 Infected files: 3 Data scanned: 5.94 Mb I/O buffer size: 131072 bytes Time: 3.528 sec (0 m 3 s) clamdscan -r ----------- SCAN SUMMARY ----------- Infected files: 1 Time: 2.690 sec (0 m 2 s) Why do they get different results? clamdscan doesn't show the total files, but only shows 1 infected... while clamscan in this case does take longer but finds 3 infected files.
