clamdscan: Remove infected files.
$ clamdscan --remove
try on your machine
The command "clamdscan --remove" is used to scan files and remove any malicious content found by ClamAV antivirus software. Here is an explanation of each part of the command:
- "clamdscan" is the command-line scanner provided by ClamAV, which is an open-source antivirus engine.
- "--remove" is an option that directs ClamAV to remove any infected or malicious files it detects during the scanning process.
By running this command, ClamAV will scan the specified files or directories for malware, and if any infected files are found, they will be deleted or moved to a quarantine folder, depending on the configuration. This helps to prevent further spreading of viruses or other malicious content on the system.
