In this article we’ll show how to install and configure the ClamAV plugin for cPanel. ClamAV is a popular open source anti-virus scanner, and with the ClamAV<\/a> plugin you can allow your cPanel users to scan their e-mails as well as scan their home directories for malicious files.<\/span><\/p>\n

Previously we have talk about<\/span> how to install ClamAV on CentOS.<\/a><\/p>\n

To Setup ClamAV on WHM, follow the steps below:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Log into WHM.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. In the top-left Find<\/strong> box, type in plugins<\/strong>, then click on Manage Plugins<\/strong>.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Check the\u00a0Install and keep updated<\/strong> selection box, then click\u00a0Save<\/strong> at the bottom.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. The install process will take 10 minutes, so be patient and don’t close the web-browser until it completes. <\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Log out, and then back into WHM again.<\/span><\/li>\n
  6. In the top-left\u00a0Find<\/strong> box, type in clamav<\/b>, then click on\u00a0Configure ClamAV Scanner<\/strong>.<\/span><\/li>\n
  7. Here you can set the global scan permissions as you like. If you’d simply want to allow any cPanel user to scan any of their stuff you can place a check beside\u00a0Scan Entire Home Directory<\/strong>,\u00a0Scan Mail<\/strong>,\u00a0Scan Public FTP Space<\/strong>, and\u00a0Scan Public Web Space<\/strong>, then click on\u00a0Save<\/strong>.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    HOW TO Run ClamAV virus scan from cPanel<\/h2>\n
      \n
    1. Now<\/span> login to your cPanel<\/a> to use the virus scanner.<\/span><\/li>\n
    2. Under the Advanced<\/strong> section, click on Virus Scanner<\/strong>.<\/span><\/li>\n
    3. To start a new scan, select the type of scan you want, For example select\u00a0Scan Entire Home Directory<\/strong>, then click on\u00a0Scan Now.<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n
    4. After the scan is complete there will be a list of infected files in the\u00a0Infected Files:<\/strong> section, click\u00a0OK<\/strong> on the confirmation window that pops-up to continue.<\/span><\/li>\n
    5. After the scan is complete there will be a list of infected files in the\u00a0Infected Files:<\/strong> section, click\u00a0OK<\/strong> on the confirmation window that pops-up to continue.<\/span><\/li>\n
    6. You can simply use Quarantine<\/strong> column to place these files outside of our\u00a0\/public_html<\/strong> directory so they are not still accessible. We could also just outright\u00a0Destroy<\/strong> them, or\u00a0Ignore<\/strong> them by changing our selection to those columns. Then simply click on\u00a0Process Cleanup<\/strong>.<\/span><\/li>\n
    7. Next you will\u00a0see the cleanup process complete page.<\/span><\/li>\n
    8. Now if you use cPanel’s File Manager<\/a>\u00a0you can see the newly created\u00a0quarantine_clamavconnector<\/strong> directory in your home directory to check the quarantined files.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
