How does ClamAV work under TrueNAS?

[New-User]

Hello,

I have installed TrueNAS-12.0-U6. There I have installed ClamAV in a jail.
But how does it work now that ClamAV searches for viruses on the hard drives? When I copy data via Windows in the pool, often comes a message in Windows, because of virus or Trojan, from ClamAV I have never seen anything.

Here are some screenshots of the settings.

My data is stored on /mnt/Pool/Data.
I use TrueNAS only as a controlled file share in the home network. With other settings or what else there is, I have no idea and I do not need . The IP address is 192.168.178.97/data/, via this I access the share from the computers.
In ClamAV is a completely different IP address, does that already have something to do with it? Are the links in the settings of ClamAV that the plugin in the data share searches for viruses and Trojans?

Thanks for the help, here now following the screenshots of the settings.

What is exact message from Windows?

I took a screenshot of the history in Windows.


However, I also play many many GB from my laptop with Debian Linux to the server, there is no antivirus running, so all viruses and trojans would be copied.

So it seems to me that you installed the Clam-AV plugin, mounted a dataset to it and then expected that everything else was automatic... it isn't.

You could read this thread and see if you are able to follow the steps... with the plugin, you're already at step 15. https://www.truenas.com/community/threads/how-to-update-installing-clamav-in-its-own-jail.82800/

Thanks for the tip, but I think I'll leave that alone then. Since one must have studied so that one comes with it clearly...

I had previously installed OpenMediaVault, there was also ClamAV, but the setup there was totally simple. OMV did not run properly on the computer, which is why I switched to TrueNAS.

Then I run a scanner from "outside", either from Windows, or from Debian Linux. That's easier than all the setup there.

Thanks

ClamAV doesn't scan xattr contents for malware. This is I think a fundamental problem for "scanning" SMB shares.

I'm not a System Admin, so getting me to install ClamAV and having to edit, edit, install, etc is not what I do.

There are so many opinions on this board from condescending "perhaps TrueNAS is not the right system for you" to "Only use the GUI" so I will only be using plugins that install and I can then go to the IP address and handle. But to each there own; I won't diminish anyone who can and wants to use plugins like ClamAV that require more than just a one button install.
