ClamAV and clean infected files automatically.

[hack3rcon]

Hello.
I installed ClamAV on CentOS 7 and use "clamscan -r /" and it found 11 infected files but can it clean them automatically or I must remove them manually

From http://www.clamav.net/documents/miscellaneous-faq

"Can ClamAV disinfect files?
No, it can’t. We will add support for disinfecting OLE2 files in one of the next stable releases. There are no plans for disinfecting other types of files. There are many reasons for it: cleaning viruses from files is virtually pointless these days. It is very seldom that there is anything useful left after cleaning, and even if there is, would you trust it?"

Excuse me, Why the users must use ClamAV if it can't clean viruses?

Who said users must use ClamAV?
A program can use ClamAV to identify infected files which can then be deleted.

How can I clean my linux? I need an antivirus that do it for me automatically.

Linux doesn't get viruses.
ClamAV can be used to scan incoming Emails to block receipt of mail infected with Windows viruses.

As you see, My CentOS have 11 infected files.

Delete them.

Delete them.

It's a bit more complicated than that. What are the infected files? Do you need them? If not delete them. If they're installed via rpm you can just reinstall the rpm and that'll overwrite the infected files.

Delete them.

I used "-l" for create a log but for find infected file names in my log what should I do? I used "cat ClamAV.log | grep infected" but not find any result!!!!
