There already better alternatives like clamav but I guess that assumes the IT department is actually Linux proficient.

    ClamAV is shit, and I’ve been using it on my machine for years

    The definitions are always behind, and custom sources are still behind. The configuration sucks and that’s from a NixOS user. The IO latency is atrocious when set to watching the filesystem, and it’s generally unwieldy. The clamscan/clamdscan separation doesn’t make sense either. And it’s slow as hell parsing definitions.
