ClamAV can be used in a few different ways. Most importantly, it provides the ability to scan files in realtime (on-access) or to scan the file system periodically.
I tried configuring ClamAV to both perform on-access virus scanning and to perform nightly full filesystem scanning. Using the on-access option did not prove to be very useful, however a scheduled full system scan seems to be of value.
Here is my story.
| Filter | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| allintext | Searches for occurrences of all the keywords given. | allintext:"keyword" |
| intext | Searches for the occurrences of keywords all at once or one at a time. | intext:"keyword" |
| inurl | Searches for a URL matching one of the keywords. | inurl:"keyword" |
| allinurl | Searches for a URL matching all the keywords in the query. | allinurl:"keyword" |
| intitle | Searches for occurrences of keywords in title all or one. | intitle:"keyword" |
