Using ClamAV
Using ClamAV is easy, to scan for viruses you only need to use the 'clamscan' command
$ clamscan
/home/mypapit/mypapit.js: OK
/home/mypapit/ubuntu_service.png: OK
/home/mypapit/style.css: OK
/home/mypapit/repo1.png: OK
/home/mypapit/bg_button2.jpg: OK
/home/mypapit/repo1tn.png: OK
/home/mypapit/ChiSquareDistribution.zip: OK
/home/mypapit/javapackage.png: OK
/home/mypapit/jdk14.png: OK
The scanner will detect any known viruses and alert you and a summary will be displayed at the end of the command.
add '--remove' switch to remove the files that has been detected by virus.
$ clamscan --remove
Note that ClamAV has a policy of 'sanitizing' any files infected by viruses, that means it will delete the files permanently (it has no 'heal' or 'repair' option).
