Most people run clamav on *nix boxes providing services (e.g. mail, file server, proxy, etc) for clients (including windows). That's why it makes sense to include definition for windows-virus. If you only want to run clamav JUST to protect your freebsd installation, then I'd say don't bother. Simply uninstall it. IMHO there's not THAT many *nix virus in the wild to warrant the use of a *nix-only antivirus. -- Fajar _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://www.clamav.net/support/ml
