What is the “cPanel ClamAV update”?

The term “cPanel ClamAV update” usually refers to the process of updating the ClamAV antivirus software in the cPanel environment. This update ensures that ClamAV has the most up-to-date virus definitions and security fixes, allowing it to detect and protect against the most recent threats.

Steps to update the cPanel ClamAV

• Firstly, log in to WHM (WebHost Manager), the web-based management interface for cPanel servers. To perform updates, we will need root or reseller access.
• Go to ClamAV Configuration. In WHM, type “ClamAV” into the search box or look for it in the “Plugins” or “Security Center” sections. To access the ClamAV setup, click the “ClamAV Scanner” button.
• On the ClamAV setup page, there should be an option to update the virus definitions. Look for a button or link that says “Update Virus Definitions,” “Update Now,” or something along those lines. To begin the updating process, click on it.
• Depending on the server’s internet connection and the size of the update, the update process may take a few minutes to finish. ClamAV will obtain the most recent virus definitions from its servers during the upgrade.
• When the update is finished, we should get a notification verifying the update was successful. Check the “Last Update” or “Update Status” column to ensure that the most recent definitions have been installed.
• In order to keep the server safe from the most recent attacks, consider scheduling regular ClamAV updates. Many cPanel installations allow us to schedule automated updates on a daily or weekly basis.
