Clam AntiVirus is an open source (GPL) anti-virus toolkit for UNIX.
Clam Antivirus è un toolkit anti-virus open source (GPL) per sistemi UNIX. Lo scopo principale di questo software è l’integrazione con i software server di posta elettronica (in particolare per la scansione degli allegati).
Il pacchetto fornisce un servizio di tipo multi-thread flessibile e scalabile, uno scansionatore a riga di comando e uno strumento per l’aggiornamento automatico da Internet.
I programmi sono basati su una libreria condivisa distribuita con il pacchetto Clam AntiVirus, utilizzabile con il proprio software.
Da notare che il database dei virus è tenuto costantemente aggiornato.
Ecco l’elenco delle caratteristiche principali:
- scansionatore a riga di comando
- servizio veloce, di tipo multi-thread
- interfaccia milter per sendmail
- aggiornamento del database con supporto alle firme digitali
- libreria di scansione in linguaggio C
- scansione all’accesso (Linux® e FreeBSD®)
- il database dei virus viene aggiornato anche più volte in un giorno (vedere la pagina principale del sito per il numero totale di virus)
- supporto incorporato per RAR (2.0), Zip, Gzip, Bzip2, Tar, MS OLE2,
- file MS CAB, MS CHM (HTML compresso), MS SZDD
- supporto incorporato per mbox, Maildir e file di posta grezzi
supporto incorporato per i file Portable Executable compressi con UPX, UPX, FSG e Petite
Fare riferimento alla documentazione per i dettagli.
Clam AntiVirus is an open source (GPL) anti-virus toolkit for UNIX, designed especially for e-mail scanning on mail gateways. It provides a number of utilities including a flexible and scalable multi-threaded daemon, a command line scanner and advanced tool for automatic database updates. The core of the package is an anti-virus engine available in a form of shared library.
Here is a list of the main features:
- command-line scanner
- fast, multi-threaded daemon with support for on-access scanning
- milter interface for sendmail
- advanced database updater with support for scripted updates and digital signatures
- virus scanner C library
- on-access scanning (Linux® and FreeBSD®)
- virus database updated multiple times per day (see home page for total number of signatures)
- built-in support for various archive formats, including Zip, RAR, Tar, Gzip, Bzip2, OLE2, Cabinet, CHM, BinHex, SIS and others
- built-in support for almost all mail file formats
- built-in support for ELF executables and Portable Executable files compressed with UPX, FSG, Petite, NsPack, wwpack32, MEW, Upack and obfuscated with SUE, Y0da Cryptor and others
built-in support for popular document formats including MS Office and MacOffice files, HTML, RTF and PDF Read the documentation for more details.

Changelog:
ClamAV 0.96 introduces new malware detection mechanisms and other
significant improvements to the scan engine. The key features are:
- The Bytecode Interpreter: the interpreter built into LibClamAV allows
the signature writers to create and distribute very complex detection
routines and remotely enhance the scanner’s functionality
- Heuristic improvements: improve the PE heuristics detection engine by
adding support of bogus icons and fake PE header information. In a
nutshell, ClamAV can now detect malware that tries to disguise itself
as a harmless application by using the most common Windows program
icons.
- Signature Improvements: logical signature improvements to allow more
detailed matching and referencing groups of signatures. Additionally,
improvements to wildcard matching on word boundaries and newlines.
- Support for new archives: 7zip, InstallShield and CPIO. LibClamAV
can now transparently unpack and inspect their contents.
- Support for new executable file formats: 64-bit ELF files and OS X
Universal Binaries with Mach-O files. Additionally, the PE module
can now decompress and inspect executables packed with UPX 3.0.
- Support for DazukoFS in clamd
- Performance improvements: overall performance improvements and
memory optimizations for a better overall resource utilization
experience.
