[clamav-users] ScanOnAccess - How to be sure it works

[José Wojnacki]

Hello all,

I'm running clamav on archlinux. I have activated scan on access and
according to clamav.log it is working.

Thu Aug  3 11:43:32 2017 -> HWP3 support enabled.
Thu Aug  3 11:43:32 2017 -> Self checking every 600 seconds.
Thu Aug  3 11:43:32 2017 -> ScanOnAccess: notifying only for access
attempts.
Thu Aug  3 11:43:32 2017 -> ScanOnAccess: Protecting '/home/' and rest
of mount.
Thu Aug  3 11:43:32 2017 -> ScanOnAccess: Max file size limited to
5242880 bytes

To test it I have tried to open or copy the eicar.com.txt test file but
I never see any detection. I know clamav is working because if I run a
manual scan on this file it is detected as an infected file. Is there
something in the ScanOnAcess that may not be properly configured or
this particular file is not good for this kind of testing??

Best Regards, josé.
