Confusion between clamscan and clamdscan












3















If i am running clamscan -v under clamav-0.99.1 package, it is showing



----------- SCAN SUMMARY -----------
Known viruses: 4297948

Scanned directories: 1
Scanned files: 39
Infected files: 0
Data scanned: 5.25 MB

If i am running clamdscan -v under clamav-0.99.1 package, it is showing



----------- SCAN SUMMARY -----------
Infected files: 52
Time: 1.936 sec (0 m 1 s)


If i run particularly under clamav-0.99.1/test directory, clamscan -v, it is showing



----------- SCAN SUMMARY -----------
Known viruses: 4297948
Engine version: 0.99.1
Scanned directories: 1
Scanned files: 52
Infected files: 48
Data scanned: 14.52 MB

And in clamdscan -v, it is showing



----------- SCAN SUMMARY -----------
Infected files: 52
Time: 1.184 sec (0 m 1 s)


Why is this difference?? Does running from super directory and particular directory matters??



Why clamscan -v is showing



Scanned files: 52
Infected files: 48


while clamdscan -v always showing



Infected files: 52

  • As far as I know clamdscan works like as a replacement of clamscan.You should not be worried about it .It does not matter actually what directory it is. If you ask people which one they use I would say clamscan.

    One of most important thing is that clamdscan ignores most of the command line options of clamscan, therefore I doubt that it does not do an accurate scan.This is why, I would conclude you see an untrustful output from clamdscan in your result.

clamdscan is configured in /etc/clamav/clamd.conf. It allows faster scan by using parallelization with --multiscan which is using more resources, of course.
