Hello again,

I read the docs from the links, but may you please help me to understand what 'on access' scanning will do / can do ?

I installed clamav on my centos 7 box, but not yet start the clamav service.

I have set in /etc/clamd.d/scan.conf
ScanOnAccess yes
OnAccessIncludePath /home/usertest

When I will start the clamav servce :

Does clamav will scan only /home/usertest ?

What will happen if clamav detect virus or malware already present in /home/usertest ?
Will it quarantine the infected files ?

What will happen if the user try to copy an infected files in his /home/usertest (via samba) ?
Will it be impossible for him to copy the infected files ?

I would like to reassure before start the clamav service, and avoid any users complaints against me.

Best Regards,

EdG

What do you mean by "You could enable 'on access' scanning
on the CentOS box" ?
Is there a special to start clamav with mode 'on access' ?

What is this 'on acess' mode ?
