This is because SecondDrive is not mounted.
That is;
1. $ sudo mount /SeconfDrive /home/sarah
then, execute
$ sudo clamscan --recursive --infected /home/sarah/SecondaryDrive
If I want to quarantine virus-infected files to /home/sarah/virus;
$ sudo clamscan --recursive --infected --move=/home/sarah/virus
/home/sarah/SecondaryDriv
But, there's a way to do this without mounting it as root.
That is, if you connect the SecondDrive to PC, it will appear like
this by some operation;
/run/media/sarah/....... /SecondDrive
in this case, you can use the below command as an ordinary user;
$ clamscan -r --infected /run/media/sarah/...../SecondDrive
Furthermore, if you move a virus-infected file(s) to ~/virus (=/home/sarah/vius)
$ clamscan -r --infected --move=~/virus /run/media/sarah/...../SecondDrive
2. Regarding virus check of mails
I check for viruses when I fetch mails from the server, but your
Thunderbd fetches mail directly from the server, doesn't it?
I don't know how to do it in this case, so I'll leave it to others to
advise.
Best Regards.
