Graphical user interface (gui) for clam antivirus
Usage
clamtk
clamtk file

Overview
clamtk is a frontend for Clam AntiVirus. It is designed to be a lightweight, easy-to-use, on-demand GUI virus scanner.
clamtk is written using Perl, Python, and the Gtk+ libraries.
Options
There are currently no commandline options except for those noted in the synopsis. There is no point in commandline options since one can use clamscan for that. clamtk does accept a file or directory as an argument so one can right-click on it to have the object scanned.
Plugins exist to add context menu functionality to file managers such as Files, Dolphin, Thunar, and others.
Diagnostics
You may have to edit freshclam.conf and clamd.conf prior to attempting signature updates. See your distribution's documentation for more.
