NAME

       ClamTk - Graphical user interface (gui) for Clam AntiVirus

SYNOPSIS

       clamtk
       clamtk  file
       clamtk  directory

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the clamtk commands.

       clamtk is a frontend for Clam AntiVirus. It is designed to be a lightweight, easy-to-use, on-demand GUI virus scanner.

       clamtk is written using gtk2-perl.

OPTIONS

       There  are  currently no commandline options except for those noted in the synopsis. There is no point in commandline options since one can
       use clamscan for that. ClamTk accepts a file or directory so that a user can right-click on a file or directory and send it to be scanned.

DIAGNOSTICS

       You may have to edit freshclam.conf and clamd.conf prior to attempting signature updates. See the Clam AntiVirus documentation for more.

SEE ALSO

       clamscan(1), freshclam(1), sigtool(1).
