I was getting annoyed everyday that there was no GUI (up to date) for ClamAV (https://www.clamav.net/) and i took it into my hands to create something easy to use and install.

Much needed with the deprecation of ClamTK.

My only gripe is the choice of GNOME / GTK4 / Adwaita, because I really hate the direction GNOME have gone with all that. Anyway, I look forward to this being a standard package in Debians starting 2030 or so.

I really hate the direction GNOME have gone with all that.

If it supported proper theming would be perfect.
I hope LibAdapta will take traction.

Very much this. I took out a paragraph about it because what should have been a short comment was getting too long.

You beat me on it, I was doing the same thing but with rkhunter and VT too, as a more general antivirus. I'll share once polished.

I'd be happy to collaborate and maybe getting our two projects togheter. (Mine is pygobject too, using a fabricated library for managing all external tools, clamav included).

[–] Rooki@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

I would not be against merging the projects, and yeah i thought for future releases i would like to integrate rkhunter or similar tools too.

I am always confused with anti virus on linux

[–] BrilliantBadger@piefed.ca 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Very nice. Periodically I have run a clamav podman script, but this looks really slick, installed and will run thru paces

Thanks for such a cool project :)

Let me know if there is something missing. I am always open for feature requests.

[–] BrilliantBadger@piefed.ca 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

One thought was during the scan, maybe show a subset of files as they are scanned? Just to give further feedback things are progressing. As opposed to just the moving bar

Whatever you decide, I again thank for this, will be watching and likely replace my script. Really fits a long missing need. Cheers!

[–] Rooki@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Yeah i got thos feature request multiple times i tried to begin with but it always failed. Wiml have to look further.

[–] Krafting@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Looking great !

Great! I have no use for clamAV myself, but so many people do, and an updated GUI for it is something that has been missing for a while now.
