clamav is used as a network based scanner. It's not unreasonable for it to flag windows malware on a Linux host.

- AStonesThrow 2y agoIndeed, that's the idea, such as protecting the users of an MTA/POP3 host. That's not what I was running, and ClamAV cannot replace Windows Defender, McAfee or Norton, no matter how freakin' free its source is. Honestly.
- dizhn 2y agoI don't run antivirus on my desktop but you're probably right. They don't have the resources to be an all around antivirus solution. Their engine does have value beyond antivirus though. For example I am using it with non-virus signatures to block various malicious email types.
