How to permanently disable ClamAV?

I executed "service clamd stop && systemctl disable clamd" om the terminal as root.
But after some time, i dont know what exactly happened, if it was an update or something, but it re-enabled itself.

How can I permanently disable it and if possible even remove from the "mail services status dashboard" ?

I'm sure a CWP update re-enabled it at some point, since it's core functionality provided & expected by CWP's mail setup. systemctl disable removes symlinks that enable the service so you would have to periodically check for the existence of the symlinks and remove them. Or simply run your command periodically (hourly, overnight, whatever).

If the service is not installed, it won't show on the dashboard.

You can try to uninstall it using

Code Select Expand

dnf remove clamav* clamd

Is there some reason you don't want an AV on your server?

I will try that code. Thanks!

The reason is that it eats too much resources and every client already have an AV installed.
