note: ClamAV is a separate, distinct project whose development is overseen by the Talos Group, at Cisco Systems and is not affected by this decision
So it’s “just” the GTK gui that is iunmaintained. ClamAV and the other user interfaces for it will still be developed.
It’s not GTK, it’s tk.
Isn’t ClamTK a GUI to ClamAV if I remember correctly?
I don’t know anyone who actually used clamtk
I used it a few times. Essentially having a one-click scan was nice, but I could never get it to properly update the virus definitions. Now I just run clamd, freshclam and clamonacc at startup. Uses a ton of RAM but then I don’t have to worry about actually doing anything beyond that.
You don’t need it
I think the only TK-based tools I have ever uses are
gitkandgit gui. And even those I have mostly replaced withtigandlazygitI used it once back in like 2006.
You guys use antivirus on linux?
You don’t?
Why would we?
Who are you?
A developer who hasn’t caught a virus since his teenage years.
Then who are they?
Who?
Who are we really?

Was hoping nobody click it. Well take my upvote for that.
Hexchat too? :(
It is just the GUI, relax
ClamAV is great tool for email servers to integrate with a message transport agent to detect Windows viruses and reject such messages before they reach users mailboxes. (Or pretend it’s accepted but don’t actually deliver) Other than that, I don’t really know if it makes sense… Maybe if binaries run directly or appimages got more common
