Virus Scanning
Key Notes
The tool almost universally recommended for use on a Raspberry Pi is ClamAV.
Installation
To install ClamAv on the machine, open a terminal emulator, and enter this command:
|
sudo apt install clamav |
Then create the directories for use when running the scanner.
|
cd /home/cnc |
Running the Scanner
To run the ClamAv scanner it is key to first update the ClamAV’s official virus signature databases on the machine. To do that, open a terminal emulator, and enter this command:
|
sudo freshclam |
Once the virus signature databases are updated, you can run the ClamAv scanner on the machine. In the terminal emulator, enter this command (it is not 3 commands; rather it is a single, long command):
|
sudo clamscan -r -i / ↵ |
| spacer line |
