    download to a dir

    clamav-0.87-1.0.rh7.rf.i386.rpm
    clamav-db-0.87-1.0.rh7.rf.i386.rpm
    clamd-0.87-1.0.rh7.rf.i386.rpm
    clamav-devel-0.87-1.0.rh7.rf.i386.rpm

    and run

    rpm -uvh clam*.rpm

    this will install(update) it on your computer

    after that run freshclam

    then check the ver and see if its been updated.

    it's a linux server.
    if i do rpm -qa | grep clamav nothing appears installed
    if i download a tar version and upload it to the server that will be a good idea or a bad one?.

    If i upgrade to version 0.87 the zip files will be scanned or i must touch someting else?.


    Thanks.

    its its if you can install it from the source. (rpm is much simpler)

    redhat 7 dont come with clamav so i dont think it will show up in the rpm search, unless im mistaken.

    once you upgrade (rpm is better - it will not work if any thing is missing, and you will not lose any thing)

    check in the /etc/clamd.conf

    ScanArchive is uncommented (#) but its by default enabeled

    but you may need to enabel the "ScanRAR"
