Relevant Files and Software
Linux
Linux hosts use the [https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ClamAV ClamAV] package to scan for viruses. The AniNIX has a [file:///root/bin/vscan script] to execute the clamscan executable across all files, logging to [file:///var/log/clamscan.log log file] and reported via email to admins.
Crontab entries regularly execute the vscan and freshclam executables to scan the system and update the virus definitions daily. Category:ClamAV
