I initiated a new scan for an account through its cPanel interface but the web browser crashed at some point. When visiting the Virus scanner page again it doesn't show up anything. Are the results stored anywhere or do I have to rescan to see the infected files?

The scan process took about 18 hours and I would like to avoid rescanning if possible.

Hello,

You'd need to run it again as the results that appear in the UI are not logged, however I suggest using the command line if it's an account with a large number of files. EX:

Code:
/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/bin/clamscan -r /home/username
You may also want to run this command using the screen utility so that it runs in the background if you lose your connection to the server.

Thank you.
