[SOLVED] use clam av to scan a usb stick

Pedroski · 11-13-2019, 01:22 AM

Last night my son plugged my usb stick into his Win 10 computer and it nearly crashed.

I'm wondering if I picked up something from the office Win 10 computer.

I want to scan the usb stick.

How do I do that in bash?

There doesn't seem to be a man entry for clamav or clam-av

here you can find everything (I think), and at the end you can find a command to scan a directory:

I did it like this in the end:
