Well, obviously the ClamAV engine is used with Clamwin, thought I don't know what configuration options it employs. I suspect it's not a trivial task for the average Windows user to upgrade the engine. As a ClamXav user I know it's not something I would expect even a seasoned user of macOS/OS X to do for themselves. I've been attempting to help a half dozen legacy OS X Server users with the provided 0.97.8 engine upgrade and it's been a real struggle for them. Neither Apple nor CLamAV are willing to assist. > First of all, I don't get paid to do QC for them. > > Second, it clearly states in the 'Mirror' documentation that 'Every mirror > is continuously monitored to ensure that every ClamAV user gets the latest > virus database.' > > They are not monitoring the mirrors anymore, and as such everyone is > getting crappy update speeds because half the mirrors are down and they are > not taking anymore mirrors to replace those down mirrors... I only brought that up to help you out, so if that's not something you need then feel free to ignore it. Hardly any of us here get paid for QC, but that hasn't stopped us in the past. I thought we were a community helping each other out here, but perhaps that is no longer true. Although I've certainly seen those same signs, it's been years since I've experienced anything close to what your are reporting. They keep promising to bring back the ClamAV Mirror Status page, but no sign of it nor evidence that even they have access to such a thing. Where did you hear they were not accepting any more mirrors? -Al- > On Sat, Nov 12, 2016 at 5:49 PM, Al Varnell wrote: > >> But again, that would appear to be a Clamwin problem as it doesn't appear >> they have updated the scan engine for some reason.
