[Bug 450250] Re: clamdscan says Access denied. ERROR on all files

[Imre Gergely]

The only possible benefit I can see in using clamdscan over clamscan is
the speed. When using clamdscan, that's actually using the running
clamav-daemon, which has preloaded database, so startup is a bit faster.
But beside that, clamdscan/clamd is usually used for stuff like
integrating in MTA scanning and such, not for the user to scan stuff
manually.

Of course it CAN be used that way, too. One can set clamd up to run in
the background and use clamdscan to send it file/directory paths to
scan. That's where apparmor (if it's runinng) comes in, and restricts
access.
