There is a difference in between “not being maintained” and “still works”.  If it still works, the date of the last commit is irrelevant  —  Sent from my 📱iPhone On Dec 23, 2025, at 11:06, Newcomer01 via clamav-users <clamav-users@lists.clamav.net> wrote:  Yes, open the link and see the really old dates of this project, since 7.2.5 of March '21 no newer version was delivered and in the master tree (files for this project) the last changes was before 4-6 years: https://github.com/extremeshok/clamav-unofficial-sigs I'm personally not sure if this project is in active developing anymore ...
