ClamAV

English

Overview

Open-source antivirus software commonly used on mail servers and elsewhere.

Details

An open-source antivirus engine that detects malware using signatures, frequently used at mail gateways. It's used less for real-time file-access monitoring and more for on-demand scanning -- checking email attachments or uploaded files -- with a typical setup pairing it with a mail server like Postfix to quarantine infected email before it's ever delivered.
