In order to detect potential malware, could ClamAV or something similar be used to scan for known issues? It could then mark the problematic file or automatically delete it.

The idea of CIRCLean is to detect potentially malicious files without relying on antiviruses, and we figured out that on USB keys, we can be a lot stricter and detect more potentially malicious content by searching active files, or files with active content, than with signatures.

But if you want to support clamav, we welcome contributions so as long as clamav is an optional dependency, we'd be happy to merge it.
