The clamav module is an open source antivirus engine that is part of the default Momentum installation.
The clamav module allows integration with the open source ClamAV antivirus engine.

> **NOTE:** Since version 5.2, the `msys-clamav` package, which contained the ClamAV engine, is no longer shipped with the Momentum installation bundle. To use this clamav module, the engine must be installed using the general available ClamAV packages (e.g., `clamav` and `clamd` RPMs), then configured and maintained separately by following the official ClamAV [documentation](https://docs.clamav.net/).
