Exactly, which is why I consider cache scanning to be a total waste of time. Most of what will be found is just adware and if it caused any issues, that would already have taken place. Cache files are just history files and perfectly harmless by themselves.
I mostly agree with you, but the OP did say that he uses (I think at least) Android, Linux and Windows which could mean that a threat to a Windows device might be caught on a Linux box before it has a chance to reach any of the Windows devices. Emphasis on 'might', of course. The use case is similar to those who run Websites which permit file- sharing etc. If they didn't take any precautions, they could become (at the risk of being a little topical) super-spreaders. -- 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
