Description: A graphical Front-End for the ClamAV Anti-Virus Scanner. It uses freshclam as a backend for signature updates and provides a scheduler for timed virus scanns.
Please let me know whether the app works to your liking or not. Comments welcome
For Ubuntu (UALinux repository): https://ualinux.com/en/ubuntu-apps-other/clamav-gui How to add a repository: https://ualinux.com/en/how-to-connect
Added a Spec-File if anybody likes to create a RPM-Package for another Distro that uses RPM-Packages Added Source Code for QT6 without using core5compat.
INFO --> clamav 1.0.7 ------------------------------ ClamAV 1.0.7 has an issue with freshclam. Freshclam needs the file "ca-bundle.crt" at the folder "/etc/pki/tls/certs". If this file is not pressent, freshclam will not work. On OpenSuSE I found a package with the name "ca-certificates-steamtricks". In this package there is a file "ca-certificates.crt". After installation, I copied the file from "/etc/ssl/certs" to the folder "/etc/pki/tls/certs" and renamed it to "ca-bundle.crt". With this, freshclam works on my machine.Last changelog:
* Fri Mar 22 2025 - Version 1.1.1
Found a bug in the process that determins what application to use (pkexec or kdesu) for the execution of scripts as root.
9Thank you for this excellent ClamAV gui .
It is working like a charm.
When i use clamd background scan, there is no option to move a infected file to the quarantine like in the scanner options. It is only copying.
Is it possible to implement this ?
10This is the best GUI I have ever encountered. ___________ that's why we placed it on our antivirus disk UALinux RescuePack - https://ualinux.com/en/ubuntu-rescuepack ___________ and uploaded it to our repository UbuntuPack - https://ualinux.com/en/ubuntu-apps-other/clamav-gui
To publish on Flatpak, first prepare your app with a manifest file and repository. Then, use Flatpak Builder to create your bundle. Upload your app to a public or private repository. Finally, share your app with flatpak install and the repo URL. Ready for others to enjoy! 🚀📦 more information:

Hi hitcat.
ClamAV-GUI uses the language settings of your Desktop (KDE, GNOME or what so ever). Therefor if you use spanish in your language settings the application should load the appropriate language file. (.qm file).
You can check for the file in /usr/share/clamav-gui. The file should have the name "clamav-gui-es_ES.qm"
This file is for:
- Language: Spanish (español de España)
- Country/Region: Spain (España)
I have uploaded a new verison. You can install and invoke clamav-gui withe the parameter "--language". This will show you what extention (in your case : es_ES) is required. If the program displays anything diferent vom "es_ES" please let me know.
You are right, but to be frank I don't know how to add this software to a repo of whatever distro. Any help offered regarding this topic is realy apreciated.
I'd love to help, but I doubt I'd be of much – most distributions have a repo add FAQ, but they still seem complex to me. Have you tried Snapcraft or Flathub? They should be a million times easier than adding the source to loads of distributions' repositories, and allow users to install the app on *any* distribution.
If you add a link to the source code on this page (there's a little link – https://www.opendesktop.org/p/1127892#:~:text=Source i,on opencode.net – at the top of the page) I'll put in a package request at https://forum.snapcraft.io/c/snap-requests/21 and https://discourse.flathub.org/c/requests/5 so that (ideally) you don't have to do *anything*.
Thanks for your comment. If you have any suggestions on what other platform I should spread the program. This was was really a "Fun-Project" for me and I am actually working on other things but if I see that more people are using it I will place my focus back on it. So, let me know and spread the word. :-)
Flatpak may be the best "cross-platform" option that with the most significance.
https://flatpak.org
Otherwise there are Snapcraft.io packages for Ubuntu\Debian based systems, but I prefer Flatpak. AppImages is another possible option, but I haven't used it much. The KDE opendesktop packages shop seems to be dead, except for some key packages and the KDE built stuff, compared to those three.
Flatpak and Snapcraft are not only application stores, but app containerization tools as well.
Olá. Muito obrigado pelo elogio. Não pensei que ainda há pessoas que usam este programa. Estou a pensar sobre o assunto de fazer uma tradução em portuguese mas porque portuguese não é a minha língua maternal isso não e fácil para mim. Mas se há gente lá fora que falam portuguese e usam o meu programa se calhar vou fazer o tradução e carregar uma nova versão para cá. Um bom resto de fim de semana.
Show. Caso precise tenho um bom domínio da língua portuguesa. Infelizmente não entendo nada de programação ou como traduzir um programa. Mas se puder ajudar, estou a disposição para a tradução da interface. Muito obrigado pelo se trabalho e dedicação a esse projeto.

Hi, what do you mean by "clamd background scan". Do you mean the clamonacc part of ClamAV?
10 Very nice GUI for scheduling scans with profiles and viewing log files.

9 Great job, It's a wonderful application, especially the scan action with right-click
Is this packaged in any distribution repositories?
Not as far as I am aware.
Is there any intention to do so? It'd be the difference between a userbase in the tens versus the thousands, probably.

I say thank you in advance. :-) I had this package in the Open Suse Build System but after years of inactivity the kid me out - understandable.
Do you have a link to the source code repository then? I'd really like to try to compile it with the OBS myself too.
Actually, I can get it compiling anyway if https://github.com/openSUSE/open-build-service/issues/14544#issue-1771905946 is remediated.

this is so much better than ClamTk, in my opinion. Useful breakdowns of information and more interesting format
you shouold get this package out on some other platforms, it would probably do pretty well vs clamtk over some time with updates from time to time.

10 O kde precisa mesmo de uma gui para o clamav. Está ficando muito legal esse projeto.

Obrigado pela oferta. Sou casado com uma portuguesa. Acho que ela vai ajudar-me. :-)
