An antivirus tool is one thing that you need to keep current. If you are concerned about a new version of clamav 'failing', you may want to consider installing the volatile version separately, and keep the stable version as 'backup'. Then you could create a piece of code (in procmail, or wherever convenient) to check that the volatile ClamAV did not return an error. If it does, run the stable version, which you can store separately, but still use the same database. Naturally, until you discover the problem with the latest version, you'll take a performance hit, but this provides maximal AV protection for the system. Better than continuing to run on an out-dated engine.

[Clamav-users] Outdated Engine warning suppress
Hello, could you please advise if there is a way to run clamscan, suppressing the engine outdated warning: LibClamAV Warning: *** LibClamAV Warning: *** This version of the ClamAV engine is outdated. *** LibClamAV Warning: *** DON'T PANIC! Read http://www.clamav.net/support/faq *** LibClamAV Warning: *** I'm running Debian in a production environment, I cannot afford using the volatile repository, meaning that my engine will always be outdated.

[Clamav-users] Clamscan takes 80minutes to scan a file
Hello, I'm running ClamAV 0.90.1/8187, Debian 2.6.18-4-powerpc Clamscan takes way too long to process even a single file. Scan summary shows 80 minutes for scanning one 1 small txt file. Tested with different file types/sizes, same result. Removed and reinstalled Clamav package, no difference. Any advise on what could be slowing clamscan down so much?

[Clamav-users] ClamAV scan report
Hello, A question about the scan output of ClamAV. I have a script that finds files that have been modified in the last N days from a folder and then passes the list to clamscan. I'm using cat LIST.txt | xargs -0 clamscan -ir --stdout REPORT.txt When the scan is finished the report looks like this: --- SCAN SUMMARY --- Known viruses: 396676 Engine version: 0.93.1 Scanned directories: 0 Scanned files: 684 Infected files: 0 Data scanned: 440.22 MB Time: 51.853 sec (0 m 51 s) --- SCAN SUMMARY --- Known viruses: 396676 Engine version: 0.93.1 Scanned directories: 0 Scanned files: 86 Infected files: 0 Data scanned: 41.97 MB Time: 6.677 sec (0 m 6 s) Why are there two summaries? Sometimes when I'm searching for files in multiple folders there is even more summaries generated. Thank you.

Re: [Clamav-users] ClamAV scan report
Thanks you Tilman. From what I understand, xargs passes the command line arguments in batches, launching clamscan once for each batch.

Because the xargs command in your script ran clamscan twice. Sometimes when I'm searching for files in multiple folders there is even more summaries generated. That's how xargs works. See man xargs.
