Clam AntiVirus is a GPL anti-virus toolkit for UNIX.
The main purpose of this software is the integration with mail servers
(attachment scanning).
The package provides a flexible and scalable multi-threaded daemon, a
command line scanner, and a tool for automatic updating via Internet. The
programs are based on a shared library distributed with the Clam AntiVirus
package, which you can use with your own software.
Most importantly, the virus database is kept up to date .
