ClamAV for Windows is a function of very good free anti-virus software, its very small size, will not take up too much computer resources, unlike other anti-virus software installed will drag the entire computer speed. And in addition to a powerful document and email protection capability, it also has a scheduled scan, online update virus signatures, timely detection and other functions, and the market leading anti-virus software is no less than the up. Then the scan component of, but the scanning software really weak, there is no comprehensive and customized testing, only the quick scan. We right click on files and folders in context menu does not scan the relevant options. In addition to the right of the "scan options" option there are two options, and whether the scanning process is currently running and loading files, etc., the choice of general recommendations. All the best.

After the implementation of MailScanner, MailScanner repeat the work of the following:
1. Collection of messages from the Incoming queue to
2. Check whether the message can be spam, and if the need to tag it
3. Selective removal of simple text messages to the outgoing queue and triggers to be sent
4. Extract the MIME structure that contains all the messages and attachments

You can use editor to modify / etc / MailScanner / MailScanner.conf
Check the code:

Run As User = postfix
Run As Group = postfix
Incoming Queue Dir = / var / spool / postfix / hold
Outgoing Queue Dir = / var / spool / postfix / incoming
MTA = postfix
Virus Scanning = yes
Virus Scanners = clamav
Use SpamAssassin = yes
SpamAssassin User State Dir = / var / spool / MailScanner / spamassassin
Sign Clean Message = no (not in the end the letter notation "This message has been scanned ...").
