Clam AntiVirus（ClamAV）是免费而且开放源代码的防毒软件，软件与病毒码的更新皆由社群免费发布。目前ClamAV主要是使用在由Linux、FreeBSD等Unix-like系统架设的邮件服务器上，提供电子邮件的病毒扫描服务。
安装 Clam AntiVirus
由于Clam Antivirus不存在于CentOS中yum的官方库中，所以用yum安装Clam Antivirus需要定义非官方的库。请先确认相应非官方库文件的存在。
[root@sample ~]# ls -l /etc/yum.repos.d/dag.repo ← 确认相应库文件的存在性
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 143 Oct 1 21:33 /etc/yum.repos.d/dag.repo ← 确认其存在（否则不能通过yum安装Clamd）
如果以上，dag.repo文件不存在，则不能通过yum安装Clam Antivirus，需要定义非官方库。定义非官方库的方法请见 “CentOS的下载、安装及初始环境设置”一节中yum的相关设置。而且，在此前提下也要保证所定义的dag.repo文件的语法的正确性。
然后，通过yum来在线安装 Clam Antivirus 。
[root@sample ~]# yum -y install clamd ← 在线安装 Clam AntiVirus

Complete! ← 安装完毕！
配置 Clam AntiVirus
接下来配置 Clam Antivirus 。
[root@sample ~]# vi /etc/clamd.conf ← 修改clamd的配置文件
ArchiveBlockMax ← 找到这一行，在行首加上“#”（不把大容量的压缩文件看作被感染病毒的文件）
↓
#ArchiveBlockMax ← 变为此状态
User clamav ← 找到这一行，在行首加上“#”（不允许一般用户控制）
↓
#User clamav ← 变为此状态
运行 Clam AntiVirus
让 Clam Antivirus 开始运行，并设置其为自启动。
[root@sample ~]# chkconfig clamd on ← 将其设置为自系统启动后启动
[root@sample ~]# chkconfig --list clamd
clamd 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off ← 确认2--5为on的状态就OK
[root@sample ~]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/clamd start ← 启动clamd服务（运行Clam AntiVirus）
Starting Clam AntiVirus Daemon: [ OK ] ← 启动成功
更新 Clam AntiVirus 的病毒库
安装后建议立即更新病毒库，以保证最新病毒的查杀。
[root@sample ~]# freshclam ← 更新clam的病毒库

病毒扫描
然后进行病毒扫描的测试，在这里，我们首先下载测试用的病毒文件。
[root@sample ~]# clamdscan ← 进行病毒扫描
/root: OK
----------- SCAN SUMMARY -----------
Infected files: 0 ← 没有发现病毒
Time: 5.074 sec (0 m 5 s)
[root@sample ~]# wget http://www.eicar.org/download/eicar.com ← 下载带毒文件
[root@sample ~]# wget http://www.eicar.org/download/eicar_com.zip ← 下载带毒文件
然后，再次进行病毒到描。附加“remove”选项后，会在查出病毒后自动删除染毒文件。
[root@sample ~]# clamdscan --remove ← 再次进行病毒扫描，并附加删除选项
/root/eicar.com: Eicar-Test-Signature FOUND ← 发现被病毒感染的文件
/root/eicar.com: Removed. ← 删除被病毒感染的文件
/root/eicar_com.zip: Eicar-Test-Signature FOUND ← 发现被病毒感染的文件
/root/eicar_com.zip: Removed. ← 删除被病毒感染的文件 ----------- SCAN SUMMARY -----------
Infected files: 2
Time: 2.201 sec (0 m 2 s)
让病毒扫描定期运行
[root@sample ~]# vi scan.sh ← 建立自动扫描脚本，如下：
#!/bin/bash
PATH=/usr/bin:/bin
CLAMSCANTMP=`mktemp`
clamdscan --recursive --remove / > $CLAMSCANTMP
[ ! -z "$(grep FOUND$ $CLAMSCANTMP)" ] &&
grep FOUND $CLAMSCANTMP | mail -s "Virus Found in `hostname`" root
rm -f $CLAMSCANTMP
[root@sample ~]# chmod 700 scan.sh ← 赋予脚本可被执行的权限
[root@sample ~]# crontab -e ← 编辑计划任务，添加如下行
00 03 * * * /root/scan.sh ← 添加这一行，让其在每天3点钟执行扫描
有了免费开源的Clam AntiVirus，又为我们的免费Linux增加了不少安全系统，而且不要花钱购买，是不是一个很爽的事情。
