Sorry, I do not want to know how to "use clamav efficiently", I am just wondering what good clamav will do on a server, as there aren't really any hooks into file writing or reading. Sure, I can hook up clamav into my email stream or into my proxy on that machine for filtering out requests to people who use windows boxes behind those. But I do not understand which sense clamav makes on a linux server, if there are no hooks into the kernel (I know about dazuko, but a) we don't ship it and b) last time I looked at it I couldn't get it to run properly without a *huge* speed penalty). As far as I know there is no AntiVirus solution for Linux which works the same as all the solutions under Windows do. And if you do not have real time scanning on a server/workstation, an anti virus scanner doesn't do you any good, as the time frame for attacks is just too large. Either you get it on the first shot or you can just forget about it. So again: If you want to be PCI-DSS compliant - what's the use of clamav?
