    basically, clamav is not what you're looking for ... it's basically
a file scanner antivirus, not a resident antivirus, not a memory
scanning antivirus, nothing of these features you're looking for. clamav
is not an endpoint antivirus, it's a simply file scanner antivirus.

In fact, ClamAV is simply a file virus scanner. It isn't an
"antivirus" at all -- it cannot remove viruses or deactivate them.

no, only scan for viruses. other functionalities are left for different
software following basic UNIX logic "do one thing and do it good".
