Virus scan

Viruses cause a loss of information. Checking for viruses is therefore an important aspect when cleaning up your digital archive. You need a virus scanner for this. This will compare all the files on a computer against a database that describes all known viruses. The software detects any similarities between your files and the descriptions in the virus database. So if a match is found, this means your file is infected with a specific virus. The antivirus software will then remove the virus, place the infected file in quarantine so that the virus cannot spread or, if necessary, completely delete the infected file. Possible virus scanners include:

  • ClamAV
  • ClamWin

Make sure you regularly update your antivirus software, so you’re always using the latest version.
