You really need to understand how ClamAV works in order to use it sensibly and effectively. There's documentation at http://www.clamav.net/documents In your example clamscan was not "searching". It spent the 48 seconds loading signatures; see http://www.clamav.net/documents/scanning If you'd done that on one of my systems it would have been more like four minutes. :/ -- 73, Ged. _______________________________________________ clamav-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.clamav.net/mailman/listinfo/clamav-users Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: https://github.com/vrtadmin/clamav-faq http://www.clamav.net/contact.html#ml
