Installing and configuring ClamAV for cPanel

Posted:  May 14th, 2016

 

WHM comes with a free, pre-installed version of clamavconnector (Clam antivirus) that is not activated by default.

 

Activate it by following this procedure:

 

1) Connect to your WHM interface as root.

 

2) On the home page, click on the cPanel link (icon).

 

3) Click on "Manage Plugins".

 

4) Select the box "Install and keep updated" in the corresponding section to clamavconnector.

 

5) Click on save at the bottom of the page to confirm the installation.

 

WHM will then download the necessary packages for clamavconnector and will install it automatically,  this may take a few minutes.

 

Once the installation has been completed, you will have a virus scan link in your cPanel interface.
