Clamav

An external, supplementary antivirus software program for Linux systems.

Not generally needed since Linux systems by themselves are hard to infect with malware.

Installation & Usage

sudo apt install clamav (CLI-only) sudo freshclam (Updates virus definitions) clamscan --help (View options for running a Terminal-based virus scan) sudo clamscan -r /home -i (Run a recursive scan from the home directory, and display only infected files at the end.)

*You can install ClamTk, a GUI for ClamAV.
