Here a quick walk through on how to install and perform a file system scan with ClamAV. I’ll be installing and scanning on a RedHat 7.3 machine.
First download the required files listed below. For other distributions you should refer to the download page to get the suitable packages. I saved the files to /opt/clamav/
1. clamav (Scanning tools)
2. clamav-db (Virus database)
3. main.cvd (Virus database update file)
4. daily.cvd (Virus database update file)
Let’s start installing the packages.
[root@pinky:~]# rpm -ivh clamav-db-0.93.3-1.rh7.rf.i386.rpm
[root@pinky:~]# rpm -ivh clamav-0.93.3-1.rh7.rf.i386.rpm
[root@pinky:~]# cp main.cvd /var/clamav/
[root@pinky:~]# cp daily.cvd /var/clamav/
That concludes the install process. Now lets scan.
Continue Reading ->
rpm -qa --last will return all installed rpm packages with their installed time. The last installed packages will be at the top of the list.
rpm -qa --last | less is will return all installed packages with their install date. Less allows you to scroll through the results.
rpm -qa --last | tail -n [lines] will return the last 5 packages. Replace [line] with any number you want, in my case 5 for file lines.
[root@bambee root]# rpm -qa –last | tail -n 5
