To continue... Since this is the year 2017, and 64-bit computing has been around for years, I decided to see how a Windows AV package would handle my ISO which is "too big" for ClamAV.
I copied it over to a 64-bit Win7 machine with lots of RAM (32 GB), and scanned it with Microsoft "Security Essentials". The result? 1. It didn't complain about the size of the file. 2. It scanned 11424 items *within* the ISO! I can understand (sort of) that ClamAV can't scan inside some archive formats. (But then why did --debug report that the ISO module was "on"?) But I can't understand why ClamAV can't handle files bigger than 4 GB. Especially now that 64-bit OSes are common, and 64-bit CPUs are totally mainstream. _______________________________________________ clamav-users mailing list clamav-users@lists.clamav.net http://lists.clamav.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/clamav-users Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: https://github.com/vrtadmin/clamav-faq http://www.clamav.net/contact.html#ml
