ClamAV: Powerful open-source anti-virus toolkit for UNIX. Ideal for email scanning on mail gateways. Features include flexible multi-threaded daemon & command-line scanner.
ClamAV is an open-source anti-virus toolkit for UNIX, particularly well-suited for scanning email on mail gateways. Its core component is a flexible and scalable multi-threaded daemon, alongside a command-line scanner and advanced tools for automatic database updates. This allows for efficient detection of threats using its shared library anti-virus engine. While the original ClamAV is primarily designed for UNIX, a Windows version, developed through a partnership between Immunet Corporation and Sourcefire, Inc., provides a free Cloud-based protection mechanism. Available as a 3.45MB download (32bit), this solution can be used independently or in conjunction with existing antivirus software to enhance malware detection capabilities.
