Community forum to discuss cxs.
If you believe that there is a problem with your cxs installation and want support then, as a paid product, you should use the helpdesk after having consulted the documentation.
New here, I apologize if this has been asked before. Tried searching the CXS subforum but couldn't find a similar thread.
I'm new to CXS, just got it ~2 weeks ago. I seem to be experiencing an odd one. CXS doesn't seem to pick up malware files after the server has rebooted, it only starts detecting them when I click restart CXS Watch from the ConfigServer eXploit Scanner section.
You must install ClamAV (Clamavconnector on cPanel) or ensure clamd is running to use this product correctly
If the clamd socket is not automatically detected, and to clear this message, you must set clamdsock=/path/to/socket in /etc/cxs/cxs.defaults to the live socket location

Hi there. This is my first post in this community.
I just got the very good cleanup service from Jacob performed on my server, and now I am getting 50+ emails per day about:
subject: cxs Scan on xxxx.mydomain..com (Hits:1) (Viruses:0) (Fingerprints:1)
I would like to either get a daily digest, or just suppress them. Is there any quick adjustment in the settings I can do?
I transferred a suspicious file via FTP and I get this email error:
# Clamd Error for : Undefined path for Socket::pack_sockaddr_un at /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/perl/530/lib/perl5/5.30.0/x86_64-linux-64int/Socket.pm line 873.
Anyone had this issue ?

CXS is still a mystery to me so, while I'm slowing getting to grips with it being on our servers, could someone advise what to do with this?

Several of my fleet of VPS's has been performing weirdly lately. They're spread geographically and between different providers. All of my issues have gone away and server load has reduced as soon as CXSwatch and CXS were stopped. and they begin again after it is re-enabled.
I'm talking going from average 25% of 8 CPU cores and 8GB of ram to 98% for long periods of time across multiple...
I have just recently had CXS installed on one of my cPanel servers - the idea being to test it and then if it works well, to purchase it for the other servers in our rack. However, the first problem I have come across is the inability of the transfer tool to work in cPanel. I have tried to copy an account from another of our cPanel...
The cXs Installer does not check for ClamAV before continuing. I think that the installer should check for ClamAV installation first, before continuing and then exit if it is not present with a warning to the user that it can't install until ClamAV has been installed first.
I am looking for some added protection to make sure that if someone uploads a PDF it really is a PDF and that it is safe. PDF is one example, it could be one of many common file types. I am thinking that CXS could provide an added layer of protection by scanning a file as soon as it has been uploaded to the server from a form in a web application. It could then quarantine anything...
Is it possible to exclude to scan any file extension? For example, my server has tons of pictures .png, .jpg,etc and that takes TBs of space and the things that get hacked are mostly .php and .ico files, can I exclude some extensions so the process take quite less time?
