ClamScanner

Antivirus Protection (ClamAV)

Return virus scan types

This function gets the available local paths that a cPanel account is permitted to scan.

Note:

The system determines the available scan types based on what the system administrator has set in WHM's Configure ClamAV® page.

Note:

You must run the APIs in this order:

Run ClamScanner::start_scan to start the virus scan.
Run ClamScanner::get_scan_status in a loop until the scan is finished.
Run ClamScanner::list_infected_files to get a report of the complete list of infected files.
Decide how you want to handle each infected file.
Run ClamScanner::disinfect_files to queue the disinfection of the files.
Run ClamScanner::check_disinfection_status in a loop until you get a done status.
