It\u2019s easy for cPanel and WebHost Manager (WHM) users to use. It\u2019s easy for power users to configure in the terminal, or command line interface (CLI). It integrates well with a lot of software via third party modules and clamd.conf configuration. Their developer, Cisco, is a brand familiar to experienced IT professionals. There\u2019s even a ClamTK GUI application for Linux desktop users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then CloudLinux created something to rival the go-to server scanning application \u2013 ImunifyAV. Like ClamAV, ImunifyAV is easy to use and maintained by a well-known company. Unlike ClamAV\u2019s cPanel plugin, there are more GUI options that make configuration quicker. But which AV scanner is best for your hosting plan, expertise, and needs?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"283\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/imunifyav-dashboard-1024x283.png\" alt=\"ImunifyAV Free options in WHM\" class=\"wp-image-55995\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/imunifyav-dashboard-1024x283.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/imunifyav-dashboard-300x83.png 300w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/imunifyav-dashboard-768x212.png 768w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/imunifyav-dashboard-1536x425.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/imunifyav-dashboard.png 1794w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 1360px) 876px, (min-width: 960px) calc(61.58vw + 51px), calc(100vw - 80px)\" \/><figcaption>ImunifyAV options<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"alert alert-info\">Need the best defense-in-depth solution for your large business?
