# ============================================================
# Installs ClamAV (antivirus), ClamTk (GUI front-end), rkhunter
# (rootkit hunter), and chkrootkit (AUR rootkit scanner) so the
# system has layered malware-detection coverage. These tools are
# optional because most home Arch desktops don't need a resident
# scanner, but they are valuable on machines that handle
# untrusted files or shared network storage.
