Clam AV

[Yezinki]

Hi there,

Installed Clam AV on your recommendations using synaptics & Ubuntu center.

It's AV engine & GUI don't update despite that they are checked?

Tried un installing but wasn't successful.

Could you care to explain how to clean uninstall it & the correct procedure to install for Ubuntu.

Thanks.

Hi ,

Try

sudo apt-get install --reinstall clamav clamtk

Then

sudo freshclam

The second command is for updating Virus database , but do not bother in future cuz this service runs automatically every-time you boot you OS.

Thanks

Thanks NikTh you are one genius member.

Why is there a X sign next to AV engine 0.97.5 & GUI version 4.38?

Do not bother . Bugs of GUI

sudo freshclam

do the "job" , as I said it runs automatically in every boot.

You can check it , if you reboot your pc and then in terminal give this command

dmesg | grep -i clam

EDIT: OR

ps -A | grep -i freshclam

and you will see the service up and running.
Thanks

Hello, i cant fix the old GUI, but i created my own PyQt4 GUI, and its Libre.





1) sudo apt-get install python-qt4 clamav
2) Download http://paste.ubuntu.com/1120243 save as " antivirux.py "
3) Give antivirux.py executable privileges, execute it, GUI is self explanatory.

You judge, the code is there you can read it, nothing to hide,
works ok here... if it has bug i never noticed.
