Running a malware scan
Now, when you run a Maldet scan, you’ll have the best of both worlds (think of it as ClamAV and Linux Malware Detect teaming up). Say you wanted to run a malware scan of /home/customer/public_html, you could do so with:
Full scan
# maldet --scan-all /home?/?/public_html
Only PHP Files
# maldet --include-regex ".*.php$" -a /home?/?/public_html
