Cpanel Antivirus

ClamAV can be installed through WHM for an antivirus scanner

 

If you are using Fedora or ubuntu then Dr.Web is an alternative option available for you. Please refer http://download.drweb.com/linux/.

 

To clarify:

Fedora Core is no longer supported for new installations of cPanel/WHM.

Ubuntu is not supported by cPanel at all.

 

The cPanel/WHM update mechanism will update ClamAV.

Email scanning by ClamAV is automatic and individual users can scan their web space for viruses if they desire by clicking the icon for ClamAV in their cPanel interface.

 

Ok thanks for the clarification!

 

So not to start another topic, I have a related question:
by default, Cpanel's clamav is scanning both incoming and outgoing e-mails?
I ask because in my situation, only incoming e-mail are scanned.

Thank you

 

Outbound emails are not scanned by ClamAv.

 

You run this near clamav?

Only inbound email is scanned in a cPanel/WHM environment.

 

But clamv unable to detect many know virues.
Its a very poor antivirues for a hosting server.

 

If your installation of ClamAV is unable to detect contemporary viruses, you may want to ensure that it is successfully updating its virus database periodically.

ClamAV update process started at Thu Aug 20 20:09:09 2009
main.cvd is up to date (version: 51, sigs: 545035, f-level: 42, builder: sven)
daily.cld is up to date (version: 9722, sigs: 64882, f-level: 43, builder: guitar)

Its up to date.
But still unable to detect many virus.

 

You may want to talk to the folks at ClamAV about your findings. Perhaps they can use the details of your findings to improve their virus signatures.
