Hello All,
We have started using ClamAV for SUSE Linux servers in one of our project. I
have a few points that needs clarification w.r.t Antivirus best practices.
1. How frequently is it recommended to perform complete scan (clamscan) on
servers. From my testing I understand that each scan on a server takes about
5-7 hours. Is it recommended to scan Linux servers daily or weekly basis?
2. Will there be a performance impact on servers when the scan is running
for such long hours?
3. We have planned to write a script which automates the scanning of
servers i.e.
* run clamscan command and share its output by email
* Drop clamscan output on the terminal
* Ex: clamscan -r / -i <this command scans all files, directories and
prints only infected files>
While testing the above command, infected files and also error
messages are printed.
Is there a better command to scan the entire system, and just
show the scan summary rather than printing error messages.
Regards,
SS
