[edit] Description
clamav has detected a virus on the system. There are two primary types of detection that may occur. Via the upload scanner, or via the real time scanner.
Real time scanner example:
server clamd[10987]: Clamuko: /protected_directory/eicar.com: Eicar-Test-Signature FOUND
Upload scanner example:
server clamd[10987]: /directory/eicar.com: Eicar-Test-Signature FOUND
Because of the way clamd works (it does not report the IP address of the source) this rule does not block any IPs. It alerts when clamd detects malware. If you are using the real time malware protection system, the real time malware protection system will prevent access to the malware.
