Please comment. clamav is a FILE scanner, it's very different on the way Windows antivirus works, being 'always on' and being able to catch virus 'on the fly' as files are accessed. Clamav *DO NOT* work that way. That being said, if the virus/rootkit/malware signature is present on clamav database, yes it will detect that file, but it will *NEVER* (it doesn't work that way) prevent you from accessing and even running them. -- Atenciosamente / Sincerily, Leonardo Rodrigues Solutti Tecnologia http://www.solutti.com.br Minha armadilha de SPAM, NÃO mandem email gertru...@solutti.com.br My SPAMTRAP, do not email it ___ clamav-users mailing list clamav-users@lists.clamav.net http://lists.clamav.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/clamav-users Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: https://github.com/vrtadmin/clamav-faq http://www.clamav.net/contact.html#ml
