I ported your service menu to the KDE Framework 5, with some additional modifications (more accurate progressbar, etc). Do you have the files in github so that I can fork/push my modifs there ?

Hi, I've made changes to this dolphin service menu for clamav to support kde5, clamdscan or clamscan, depending on if clamd is running. I'm going to probably create a new service menu as this one looks dead. Would you like to send me your code and maybe I could merge ours together, put it on github etc.

It would be nice to make other improvements such as perform actions on files that are found to be infected.

My changes were mostly about the new kf5 .local folders and some improvements (clamscan options to avoid following symbolic links: deadly trap on playonlinux/wineprefix folders, etc.) + use of inotify to get more accurate kdialog report on the number of scanned files. I am not on my previous computer now but I would try to set a github repo asap.

OK, I've pushed my changes to https://github.com/MatTaylorSharrow/ClamAVScan-Dolphin-ServiceMenu feel free to fork.

If you want to add to your own repo that's fine we can merge quite easily I think.

Your modifications are mostly similar to my kf5 branch here: https://github.com/b606/kf5-clamscan. Quick look for diffs:
- I did not retain "kde4-config --path services" anymore but that is a good idea since some distros/apps still use it.
- I do not clamd (only occasional file scan)
- The progressbar is improved with some flaws, that is why I prefer using the inotify branch.
- the Cancel button is working afaik

I've set up a repo yesterday and imported Incarus's original code. I've got code committed on my desktop computer upstairs that I still need to push. I'll go do that shortly.

AS it stands the script ClamScan.sh uses clamscan as the scanner.

As I have clamd running I've amended the script ClamScan.sh to use clamdscan instead. Needed a bit of rework to cater for the differences in the information they write to the log files and of course clamd must be running.

The time to scan has reduced quite significantly. I tested on a directory with 1210 files and 9 sub-directories with a size of 3.2G, in the directory there were 19 infected files. My machine is 10 years old with P4 and 2G of memory.

Using clamscan it took on average 14 mins.

Clamdscan took on average 2.5 minutes.

Not quite sure what to do with it. Let me know whoever might be interested. It doesn't cater for symbolic links. So really this is just a heads up.

the current command to run clamscan in this script is:

nohup clamscan -r --log="$spath"/ServiceMenus/ClamScan/logs/ClamScan_result_$date.log --stdout $real_files > "$spath"/ServiceMenus/ClamScan/logs/ClamScan_$date.log 2>&1 &

we could swap it to something like

if [ "$(pidof clamdscan)" ]
then
nohup clamdscan [...]
else
nohup clamscan [...]
fi

not sure if that is working.

The thought behind using clamscan instead of clamdscan is that not everybody is running or using clamdscan. Not sure if at the mean time something changed about that, but it was at least not easy back in that time to set up clamdscan, at least clamscan was running out of the box.

A possible fix for this would be to let the script check if clamdscan is running and if yes to prefer that one.

Firstly can I say this is a great tool and note that Incarus has "retired" as maintainer.

However, I've noticed that the progress bar in kdialog doesn't behave correctly.

I believe this patch resolves the issue -

I've manually applied the patch and still the progress bar does not update at all.
Can you help me, please?

I found there was a significant overhead in using clamscan for scanning small numbers of files.

On my system it takes about 7.318 secs to load the dictionary and scan the smallest file in a directory. Whereas if I scan all 11 files in the directory clamscan takes 7.785 secs so really it takes only 0.467 secs to scan the 11 files.

How this may be represented in the progress bar is that it displays the bar waits 7.318 secs at 0% then progresses to 100% in the remaining 0.467 secs them closes. Is this what you see?

I think this was one of the reasons I swapped over to using clamdscan.


In this scenario the progress bar might not register anything for the first 7 secs and then

This is actually a wanted behaviour. The progressbar is set to for example 1300, if you scan 1300 files. A small file will also count as much as a big file for the progressbar. It would be possibly to change that behavior but it would increase the amount of code. For example you could check how big the single files are (in order of the scanned files) and give the single lines a relative count (the script checks the lines of the log file: 1 more line in the log file is +1 for the progressbar until amount of lines = amount of selected files = length of the progressbar.

I understand that this is wanted behaviour and the code should be kept easily maintainable.

All I was pointing out was that there is an overhead that might suggest the progress bar is not working as designed.

So waiting for a reply from Xwang1976 to see if what they see can be explained by the above description.

He could also do some testing out of the box if --progressbar is even working for him: http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Shell_Scripting_with_KDE_Dialogs#Progress_Dialogs

Might be a problem with DBus.

The problem is that I can't fix this right now as I don't have access to a linux machine.

So let's see what the problem is here. The script actually checks the amount of lines in the file

"$spath"/ServiceMenus/ClamScan/logs/ClamScan_$date.log

each scanned file creates exactly one new line in that file, so if the amount of lines in the file == amount of all selected files the progressbar should be 100% (or x of x files).
Does the mentioned file exist on your computer (is it creating while scanning)?

Report

Xwang1976

Yes, it is created and the files are added to it (it is automatically removed when I close the popup which contains the scan results).

A small thing, but the ClamScan.sh file still includes the line 'version=2.5.5', which is confusing for version 2.5.7, as the KDialog box title bar includes the version number
It also doesn't display the full result of the scan, just 'Result' with a dotted line underneath. The log for the day, and the individual scan logs have the full details though.

Thanks for your Feedback. I hope that I can fix this bugs in the next days but I can not longer maintain the script due to a couple of reasons.

Feel free to fork this project and to maintain your own script, I also changed the license to CC BY (now without SA).
