    Antivirus as a thing is mostly dead, or has morphed into more aggressive endpoint protection. In that sense ClamAV is mostly to scan for known malware in things like mail servers. Make sure people aren’t sending malicious stuff, albeit mostly low hanging fruit.

    Nextcloud, wikis, or other similar aggregation sites are also a usecase, but again low hanging fruit.

    Set up a cron job and have it run periodically, like once an hour / day / week, whatever. Make sure you set up something that alerts you if/when it hits on something.

















  • The PC and Windows became a thing because Gates cut deals with hardware OEMs to use DOS, and outsource the OS work to a company that does only microcode software, hence the name. That meant hardware devs could disentangle from high level removed and focus on the hardware, which saves them money and effort, and in exchange Microsoft gets paid via OEM license and completely locks down the PC market.
