Installing ClamAV in Plesk 8 & 9

This article will show you how to install the ClamAV Anti-Virus client onto a Plesk 8.x or 9.x server. This will replace the need to have Parallel's DrWeb, which also requires a license to use.

  1. Log into your server by using SSH / Shell
  2. Once logged in you will need to have DrWeb removed if it is installed. To do this simply type the following commands;

    3. "Yum remove drweb" and "yum remove drweb-qmail"
  3. Yum will then proceed to remove the installed DrWeb components if they have been installed.
  4. Now you can install the ClamAV client by typing the following commands;

    5. "yum install qmail-scanner" & "yum install clamd" & "yum install spamassassin" &"/usr/bin/qmail-scanner-reconfigure"
  5. After these commands are performed the Clam AV client will be setup and ready to go.
