Hello everybody,
i have set up clamscan to scan all of the server using cron daily
( /usr/local/bin/clamscan -r -i --exclude-dir=/sys --no-summary / )
the scan is taking too long conisdered to other virus scanners (about
6 hours)
why does it taking so much?
and how can i shorten it while still scaning all files every night.
If you're running clamd, why not use clamdscan instead of clamscan, it's
much faster?
Bill
That requires clamd run as root, does it not?
