Re: [Clamav-devel] clamAV scanning algorithm

2008-12-03 Thread Thomasz Blaszczyk
Thank you for reply,

Török Edwin, Very, very good web seminar!

I have 2 more questions:

1) I'd like to measure  compare performance of AC  BM algorithms.

clamscan displays in 'scan summary' a 'time'. Does this time include
disc access, signature tree building in AC(phase1) or BM
Just wonder If I can use this time or I should figure out new timestamps.

Time: 2.189 sec (0 m 2 s)

2) I've downloaded Eicar Test Anti-Virus File and crated 10bytes file.
(See logs below) Then I've appended Eicar to this file. Why clamscan
doesn't find a signature in this file?

See:

http://www.eicar.org/anti_virus_test_file.htm

Specifically:

Any anti-virus product that supports the EICAR test file should  
detect it in any file providing that the file starts with the  
following 68 characters, and is exactly 68 bytes long

Best Regards,
Joseph Benden
