How to Install and Configure ClamAV

[Character]

I just installed clamAV. Everything went well but to do the update problem is what I get:
ERROR: Please edit the example config file / usr / local / etc / freshclam.conf.
ERROR: Please edit the example config file / usr / local / etc / clamd.conf.
ERROR: Can not parse the config file / usr / local / etc / clamd.conf
where can find configuration files? Thank you.

Clamav antivirus which is going to read the email content and then transmit it to validate or reject Postfix. As I am Sarge, there is a special repository for the latest version of ClamAV: "Debian-Volatile. It is essential to be able to recognize all the signatures of the latest viruses.
# Apt-get update
# Apt-get install clamav clamav-daemon

Question during the installation: select the mode daemon for automatic updates (every hour), and select the server "en" for downloading these updates. As indicated in the configuration file, you must add the group to Clamav Amavis:
addgroup clamav amavis

Check configured to work with ClamAV (it's automatic). In the file "/ etc / amavis / amavisd.conf" you must find:
['Clam Antivirus-clamd',
\ & Ask_daemon, ["CONTSCAN () \ n", "/ var / run / clamav / clamd.ctl"]
qr / \ BOK $ /, qr / \ bFOUND $ /,
qr /^.*?: (?! Infected Archive )(.*) FOUND $ /],

You can now send a virus to test the release of ClamAV. For this, download One of the EICAR file (European Institute for Computer Anti-Virus Research), which simulates the signature of a virus (it is not a real virus, do not worry!). Add this file as an attachment to your mail server logs and watch:
tail-f / var / log / clamav / clamav.log

it is better to install ClamAV using an installer.

 Yum-y install clamav

This approach gives a very fast and preconfigured software to operate. It certainly does not have the configuration phase. ClamAV is an open source product compilation of sources is also a way to make possible.

# Tar zxf clamav-x.yz.tar.gz
# Cd clamav-x.yz
#. / Configure - sysconfdir = / etc
# Make
# Make install

I like many software under linux, ClamAV is configured via a simple configuration file located in / etc / clamd.conf. Latter, although it is very well commented, clearly requires to be a anglicist confirmed. Among the useful options are:
The start of transactions by the antivirus. LogFile: /! Full path to Path to the database of viruses.
DatabaseDirectory
User that running ClamAV
Use
Filetype that ClamAV is / should not watch ScanArchives, ScanMail, ScanHTML. The automatic update of the database can be done via two main vectors:
* Put in the program freshclam process:
# Freshclam-d
* Add a cronjob running every hour
# Freshclam - quiet
