Hi Sean:

My own experience with Clamav has been that it clearly identifies the  
location of a virus during a scan.  However if you want to know the  
details of file access (who or what did something unusual and when)  
you may be better off with having both Tripwire and Clamav working on  
your system.

Tripwire is a security system and would handle the details.  Tripwire  
would have to become aware of Clamav and it's function but once  
that's been done your system would be pretty tight as Tripwire  
educated you what else needed to be shut down or ports locked so that  
your system is secure.  The reporting capacity of OST surpasses that  
of Clamav and can provide details (such as you requested) which  
Clamav is not designed for, not that I noticed any way.

Everyone is familiar with the commercial version of Tripwire which is  
very useful however as this is also Open Source Tripwire (OST).  OST  
and Clamav together could be very useful combination.

It is here:  http://sourceforge.net/projects/tripwire/

Of course, like any open source project OST can be recompiled to run  
on PowerPC systems such as the Cell.  Here's some more information  
for your consideration:  http://www.tripwire.com/products/enterprise/
