# libredefender
Imagine the information security compliance guideline says you need an antivirus but you run Arch Linux.
libredefender is an antivirus program featuring:
- **Industry standards** - Scanning is implemented with libclamav
- **Signatures** - Yes
- **Scheduling** - Starts scans periodically so you don't have to
- **Checkmarks** - ✅ Extra green ✅
The process is trying to change both io and processor priority to idle.
`clamav-freshclam.service` needs to be setup.
## Example config
The configuration file is loaded from **~/.config/libredefender.toml**:
```toml
[scan]
excludes = [
# rust build folders
"/home/user/repos/**/target",
]
## by default libredefender spawns one thread per cpu core
## set to 1 to use a single thread
#concurrency = 1
skip_hidden = true
skip_larger_than = "30MiB"
[update]
## use data fetched by clamav-freshclam.service (default)
path = "/var/lib/clamav"
[schedule]
preferred_hours = "09:00:00-19:00:00"
## Do not run scans when on battery
skip_on_battery = true
```
## Installation
pacman -S libredefender

## License
This code is dual-licensed as `GPLv2 OR GPLv3+`. libclamav is currently likely to be considered GPLv2-only, so the final binary is going to be GPLv2. If the need for GPLv2 is resolved we're likely going to drop GPLv2 compatibility.
Note that both licenses have a "No warranty" clause.
