----------- SCAN SUMMARY -----------

^^^^^ You've got some superfluous database files. There are only 20718 signatures currently.

Maybe you've got old format database files left. You should remove
needless files from database directory not only because they
unnecessarily use more memory, but also because after we remove any
possible false positive signature from current database, you'll still
have it in your setup, which may cause false alarms.


Of course, that;s unrelated to the (no longer a-) problem, but I was under the impression that if the new database mirrors were hosed and my cvd's became corrupt, it might be helpful to retain the old viruses.db files.


I have no lack of Ram or cpu time on these servers - is this really a concern? I've seen a few repsones to various issues with the cvd files saying that the old databses should be retained. Bad info?
