The anti-virus portion of Warden is powered by ClamAV®. ClamAV is an open source anti-virus engine used in a variety of situations including email scanning, web scanning, and end point security. It provides a number of utilities including a flexible and scalable multi-threaded daemon, a command line scanner and an advanced tool for automatic database updates.
Centos / RHEL users can manually run the freshclam command to update any ClamAV database signatures. On Centos/RHEL the freshcam command is run by a cron and on Debian/Ubuntu freshclam has its own running service.:
freshclam
Signatures are stored in the directory /var/lib/clamav
.
If you have a virus that is not detected by ClamAV, please fill out https://www.clamav.net/reports/malware and the ClamAV Detection Content Team will review your submission and update the virus database.
