[clamav-users] clamscan vs clamdscan

[Christian]

Dear Iulian ,


thanks a lot for your answer.

That sounds good. So I take it that I can have clamav and clamav-daemon
installed at the same time and use
either of them.
That´s really cool.

Thank you again for your confirmation and explanation.

There´s just one question remaining which concerns the EICAR-test-file.
For that I post a separate e-mail.

Greetings.
Rosika and Christian
