Question on CLAM for RH9!

[novkhan]

I installed ClamAV!
But i dun noe how to run it. I am a Linux Newbie so pls explain in detail.

root@localhost clam]# rpm -ivh clamav-0.70-1.i386.rpm
warning: clamav-0.70-1.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 6cdf2cc1
Preparing... ########################################### [100%]
1:clamav ########################################### [100%]
You have new mail in /var/spool/mail/root

[root@localhost root]# clam
bash: clam: command not found

I then did a search on my folders for ClamAV
And i found "logwatch" in /etc/log.d
i ran it but nothing happen?

[root@localhost root]# cd /etc/log.d
[root@localhost log.d]# logwatch
[root@localhost log.d]#

Thankyou!

I have no idea how ClamAV works but did you RTFM?

Edit: It took me 2 seconds of RTFM to find the clamscan command.

Newbie to linux or not. When you got a new program for Windows... did you read the manual to find out how it works?

It works the same way for linux. Its just a different platform.
