[clamav-users] Questions about ClamAV

[Micah Snyder (micasnyd)]

Sorry Brian.  ClamAV is probably not what you’re looking for.

As Harald stated, ClamAV is not a security suite.

ClamAV is just the file scanning engine that parses files and identifies malware hidden within.

ClamAV does not have rootkit detection, exploit detection, or other runtime behavioral malware detection.  ClamAV does not provide additional features that some other endpoint security suites provide like safe browsing, VPNs, firewalls, or other non-virus scanner detection features.  ClamAV also does not currently provide it’s own mechanism for scheduled scans and is very much up to system admins or people who incorporate that ClamAV engine into their products to set that up themselves.

Cheers,
