Is there a way to minimize the amount of memory freshclam uses so it will run
on an instance with 512MB?
clamav uses over 1GB of RAM to hold the virus database.

I originally tried to setup Freshclam but found that, like the scan, it
consumes a large amount of memory. I have an instance large enough to run the
scans, but it is on an internal subnet without external access… but downloading
files takes almost no memory, so to save some cost I just setup a small
instance on the public subnet to download the daily file… doing a once every
four hour check, then move the file to the larger instance. Was going to
update further to do a head request, but then it stopped working :( ...Really
was just looking for an update solution that could be run with a very small
amount of memory and resources and this seemed to be the best fit.

Are you using Freshclam to download the updates?

Hello,
Yesterday, for some reason, all my AWS VMs receive a 403 Forbidden response
from clamav when attempting to pull the latest cvd files. I’ve tried from two
different instances, from a lambda, and then from my local machine. All result
in the same response:
$ wget http://database.clamav.net/daily.cvd

Not sure how I can resolve this. Is this temporary? I been checking once
every 4 hours and no change.

I just got lost in thought. It was unfamiliar territory.
