1. Update Your System.

Ensure your system is up to date :

If SELinux is enabled, adjust its settings to allow ClamAV to function properly :

sudo setsebool -P antivirus_can_scan_system 1
sudo setsebool -P clamd_use_jit 1

5. Configure ClamAV.

Modify ClamAV configuration files :

sudo sed -i -e "s/^Example/#Example/" /etc/clamd.d/scan.conf
sudo sed -i -e "s/#LocalSocket \/var\/run\/clamd.scan\/clamd.sock/LocalSocket \/var\/run\/clamd.scan\/clamd.sock/" /etc/clamd.d/scan.conf

8. Perform a Manual Scan.

To scan a specific file or directory :

clamscan /path/to/file_or_directory

For recursive scanning :

9. Automate Scans with Cron.

Schedule daily scans by creating a cron job :
