i am not a killer psycho but unfornately do you thing some hackers edit both clamd.conf.exemple and freshclam.conf.exemple finally for keep their threat without problems ?
I think that is most unlikely. It would expect it to be ineffective because it would be so easy to find the changes.
so if I have the thrue awareness where can I find both files without bad typed ?
In the official distributions: https://www.clamav.net/downloads You will see that you need to edit both files to remove (or alternatively to comment out) a single line in each file. The line to remove contains the single word Example and you can either delete it entirely, or alternatively add a single # character at the beginning of the line to comment it out, like this: #Example The files themselves probably[*] need to be named clamd.conf and freshclam.conf not clamd.conf.example and freshclam.conf.example You only need clamd.conf if you are using clamd of course. The command 'clamscan' does not use the settings in clamd.conf but the command 'clamdscan' does use them, indirectly, because it uses clamd. [*] Some distributions change the names of the configuration files, I hope we don't need to worry about that here. -- 73, Ged. _______________________________________________ Manage your clamav-users mailing list subscription / unsubscribe: https://lists.clamav.net/mailman/listinfo/clamav-users Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: https://github.com/Cisco-Talos/clamav-documentation https://docs.clamav.net/#mailing-lists-and-chat
