Everything about ClamAV
Open-source antivirus software
ClamAV is a free software, cross-platform antimalware toolkit able to detect many types of malware, including viruses. It is developed by Cisco Talos and licensed under version 2 of the GNU General Public License. The project describes ClamAV as designed especially for scanning email on mail gateways rather than as a traditional antivirus or endpoint security suite. Its scanning engine is provided as a shared library that other software can embed, together with a command-line scanner, a multi-threaded scanning daemon and an automatic signature database updater. Both ClamAV and its updates are made available free of charge. One of its main uses is on mail servers as a server-side email virus scanner. Wikipedia →
