Re: [Freedos-devel] Thinking about FreeDOS 2.0

[Eric Auer]

Hi! I agree that it is not really useful to use ClamAV in DOS.
By now, it has a list of millions of virus signatures of which
basically all will be for Windows viruses anyway. You need more
than 200 MB for a typical signature database for it and opening
it takes ages before you can even scan the first file, not to
mention the amount of RAM you will need. No surprise that there
are background task versions of it for Windows and Linux, it
would just take too long to start the scanner for a new file,
you have to keep it running all the time to get enough speed.

Regards, Eric
