I am contemplating this, switching to clamd instead of clamscan. when I ran clamdscan it pukes, so I will stay with what works, (for me) I also heard reports that clamd pukes on bad archives. My scan time is low enough with clamscan that I don't really see the point. ----------- SCAN SUMMARY ----------- Known viruses: 20583 Scanned directories: 1 Scanned files: 3 Infected files: 1 Data scanned: 0.11 Mb I/O buffer size: 131072 bytes Time: 0.995 sec (0 m 0 s)
