There's nothing new about HTTP scanning even with ClamAV. I co-maintained HAVP scanner (havp.org / havp.hege.li) for years, it had a very clever method and worked fine. But pretty much all websites are SSL encrypted these days, so there's nothing to scan unless you do nasty man-in-the-middle decryption. Everyone has virus scanners on their PC, browsers have all sorts of proctection etc. The days of proxy scanning are long gone, it's just categorizing and blacklisting urls these days.. _______________________________________________ clamav-users mailing list clamav-users@lists.clamav.net 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
