As a Windows user, you are used to the fact that there is always a virus scanner somewhere in the background watching out and immediately informing you of any malware infection or already acting accordingly.
I use for this under Windows Avira Free Security<\/a> and am also very satisfied with it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only, of course, this program does not run on my OpenMediaVault instance. So how do I protect my files when they are stored on it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortunately, the developers of OpenMediaVault also provide you with a practical plugin. With this plugin you can install the free open source virus protection program \"ClamAV\" on your OMV instance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once configured, incoming and outgoing traffic is automatically monitored. You can also configure regular scans of your folders. If a malicious program is found, ClamAV will automatically delete it or move it to a quarantine folder. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everything you need to know to configure ClamAV in your OMV instance is described in the following article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Safety instructions <\/span><\/h2>\r\n

I know the following notes are always kind of annoying and seem unnecessary. Unfortunately, many people who knew "better" have lost eyes, fingers or other things due to carelessness or injured themselves. Data loss is almost negligible in comparison, but even these can be really annoying. Therefore, please take five minutes to read the safety instructions. Because even the coolest project is not worth injury or other trouble.<\/span>

Requirements<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before you start with this article, you should have prepared the Raspberry Pi so that it can be reached via the network and controlled via SSH. It should also have OpenMediaVault installed and running.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The following articles describe what needs to be done to prepare your Raspberry Pi:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
