They apparently have used ClamAV to base their "Oyster" AV on, and claim that it runs >4 times faster as a result. One thing that I see immediately would be if clamd could cache a checksum of a scanned file, so that if it sees that file checksum later, it doesn't have to scan it again. Obviously there would have to be timeouts/etc, but it's a good idea. Sophos does it on their Windows workstation AV too... Just food for thought. -- Cheers Jason Haar Information Security Manager, Trimble Navigation Ltd.
