How to configure real-time scanning and auto-update of malware signatures? How does this av compare with avs on Windows like Bitdefender, Kaspersky or Malwarebytes?
Hi @wojciechosinski5927 Answer for your question. Real-Time Scanning: ClamAV doesn’t support real-time scanning by default. You can use ClamD with inotify on Linux to monitor folders and trigger scans when files change. Automatic Updates: Use freshclam to automatically keep virus definitions up to date. Configure it to check for updates regularly and run it as a background service. Comparison to Windows Antivirus: ClamAV: Good for basic file scanning, email filtering, and server protection on Linux/macOS. Windows Antivirus (e.g., Bitdefender, Kaspersky): Offers advanced real-time protection, behavior-based detection, and user-friendly interfaces.
