ClamAV only has built-in support for OnAccess scanning on Linux.

If there are people claiming that OnAccess scanning can be bypassed, you should 
ask them for more details.  To my knowledge it hasn’t been discussed here 
before, and is the first I have heard of it.

I suspect it will depend on what platform you are running it on.

Hi all,

currently I have onaccess scanning up and running just fine in clamav. However, 
some people claim this can be bypassed (so access a file and not force it to be 
scanned), so I have some questions:

- is this true? Can onaccess be bypassed?
- if so: can I force a scan of all files that should be protected by onaccess 
once a week or so? I know clamdscan exists, but you need to provide a folder to 
it, and via cron it seems too much to scan "/". Or maybe force a scan of all 
files that should be protected by onaccess but haven't been accessed/scanned 
yet?

With friendly regards,
Franky
