I enabled it on one of the windows clamav boxes. I'll see what happens.
Thanks

Nick, it's advised not to use it because it take additional time to
process e-mails with embedded or attached URLs, since it has to
simulate a user and access the URL in order to scan it. If you
already have a heavily utilized system, then you would be wise not to
enable this feature. However, if you have available resources, you
should be fine.
Also, at least on Linux, you need to have curl installed and compile
with libcurl support:
Optional Packages:
--with-PACKAGE[=ARG] use PACKAGE [ARG=yes]
--with-libcurl support URLs downloading with libcurl
(default=no)
However, I don't know if this is the case with the Windows version of
ClamAV, since I have never actually run it on Windows.
We have been running with this feature enabled on our two Linux
gateways for about a year now and thus far have had no problems with it.

Bill,
Will you kindly elaborate? :)
I see in clamd.conf the "MailFollowURLs" but the advice is not to use
it -

ClamAV can be configured to scan URLs, if so desired.

You nor I nor Declude nor any one knows where that leads too. You
can not
scan the destination for a url.
