Thank you Rainer. That is hopeful.
I tried using ClamTK today. I updated the signatures that it said were
out of date. Some updates were downloaded. However, the description of
this software in the PopShop for PopOS says that ClamTK does not support
the use of ClamAV database. Do you or anyone else know where ClamTK is
getting its signature updates from now if it is not maintained and not
using ClamAV as a source?
I also tried some scanning and could not get it to scan hidden folders
e.g. a profile folder. Nor would it scan any files in my secondary
drive. (Neither drive have much non-system data on them because they are
both new.) The secondary drive is mounted in a dedicated folder in the
home directory which I understand, from Masaru's feedback on my main
thread to clamAV Users, to be incorrect (despite both drives using the
same ext4 file system) -- yet my Linux laptop is from System76 and I
followed their instructions in their support article "Auto-Mount Second
Hard Drive" which says "create [and name] an empty folder in your home
folder" as the mount point.
So, from the above two paragraphs, I am uncertain whether ClamTK is
working or not. Is anyone able to shed any further light on this?
Best wishes
Sarah

That's right. But that doesn't mean it will stop working in the near
future. Just use it as long as it still works and in the meantime also
make yourself familiar with ClamAV's command line and config files.
Sincerely,
Rainer
