I'm providing the original text file for ease of use Grab it here - ClamAV.on.Fedora----------------------------------Background:
This guide will use the ClamAV CLI scanner and the ClamAV-Update script (freshclam).
I wrote this to help all the HomeSOHO users (servers or desktops).
ClamAV has various tools/packages/plugins for email servers etc. but that's another story.If you wish to learn more visit their home site: http://www.clamav.net/
Obviously, you can change anything you want, but this should get you going.
----------------------------------Installation:
shell> sudo yum install -y clamav clamav-update----------------------------------Setup clamav-update:
shell> sudo vi /etc/freshclam.confNote: Change the following 2 items, then save and quit.
Example
to
#Example#DatabaseDirectory /var/lib/clamav
to
DatabaseDirectory /var/lib/clamav----------------------------------In order for the freshclam cron script to work, we'll need to update /etc/sysconfig/freshclam
shell> sudo vi /etc/sysconfig/freshclamNote: Change the following item, then save and quit.
FRESHCLAM_DELAY=disabled-warn
to
#FRESHCLAM_DELAY=disabled-warn----------------------------------Run the virus definition updates by hand (for testing):
shell> sudo /usr/bin/freshclamRun a test scan on /sbin and /bin
(recursively and log to /tmp/clamscan.Month-Day-Year.log):shell> sudo clamscan -r /sbin /bin --log=/tmp/clamscan.`date +%m-%d-%y`.log ----------------------------------Script for auto-scans:
Note: Create the script and save under "root's" home.
shell> sudo su - shell> cd ~ shell> vi virus-scan.shNOTE: Copy and paste the below info into the virus-scan.sh, then save and quit.

shell> chmod +x virus-scan.sh shell> ./virus-scan-sh &Once it's complete, check roots mail and/or the log file, if all is well, let's set up a cron job.
----------------------------------There are many ways to use cron, this example is using the /etc/cron.d structure.
shell> cd /etc/cron.d shell> vi virus-scanNOTE: Copy and paste the following into the virus-scan file, the save and quit.
# The following will run our script at 2am every day of the week.
