I have a code in Python that's supposed to take SMSs and scan them for viruses.
For that, I need to use Clamav antivirus engine (it also needs pyclam library but I have installed it). Now I am trying to run my code on pycharm but it gives me errors as if I did not install my ClamAv correctly. But I did exactly as the instructions in https://www.clamav.net/. I have Windows OS.
The code itself has no problem, 100% certain about that.
the code:
import pyclamd
def scan_sms_content(content):
# Connect to the ClamAV daemon
clamav = pyclamd.ClamdAgnostic()
# Scan the content for viruses
scan_result = clamav.scan_stream(content)
# Check the scan result
if scan_result is not None:
if scan_result['stream'][content]['status'] == 'FOUND':
virus_name = scan_result['stream'][content]['reason']
print(f"Virus found: {virus_name}")
else:
print("No virus found.")
else:
print("Scan error.")
# sample sms database
sms_database = [
{
'sender': '+1234567890',
'content': 'Hello, how are you?',
'timestamp': '2023-05-25 10:15:00'
},
{
'sender': '+9876543210',
'content': 'Meeting at 2 PM today.',
'timestamp': '2023-05-25 11:30:00'
},
{
'sender': '+5555555555',
'content': 'URGENT: Please reply ASAP!',
'timestamp': '2023-05-25 12:45:00'
},
{
'sender': '+1234567890',
'content': 'Hello, this is a test message with a potential virus!',
'timestamp': '2023-05-25 15:30:00'
}
]
def process_sms(sms_data):
# Extract the SMS content from the data
sms_content = sms_data['content']
# Perform virus scanning on the SMS content
scan_sms_content(sms_content)
if __name__ == '__main__':
# Process the sample SMS
for sms in sms_database:
process_sms(sms)
