It was pointed out even before that suggestion was made that 0.95 and later have a versioning system inside the signature DB which allows clam to selectively load only parts of the DB. New incompatible signature types can be created and 0.95 can be told to ignore them. -- Chris _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://www.clamav.net/support/ml
