“ClamAV is a free and open-source antivirus software and a cross-platform antivirus toolkit. Its primary purpose is to detect various kinds of malicious software, i.e. viruses, worms, trojans, rootkits, and many other forms of possible threats to your system.”
As ClamAV only offers a command line interface to its features, I elected to make a pretty UI to give less technical end users an easy way to manage this antivirus backend.
I am not too sure about Godot UI tools in relation to python GTK UI tools. Godot may provide an easier environment to create software applications. I hope we see more of this use! I also hope there are no issues with security or concerns I should be aware of.
I do not find it very useful to myself as we all know that “common sense is the best antivirus”, but I was a bit upset how run down the front end applications for it have been.
It’s the best I know 😆
Linux Mint. She opens Firefox to check her emails and work panel. Only complaint is that it is my old giant laptop that I let her have. I will give her a different one soon.
I am having thoughts that I wonder if others may agree with. What if with the use of this tool on most linux newbie systems, the background processes of clamav scanning causes slowdown on their computers causing doubt in their try of Linux?
