Too bad scanbuff is being retired. I really enjoy the idea of mem buffer scanning.
Is there any plan to improve and keep it or removal of it *is* a fact?

I haven't been following clamav development very close lately, so I don't understand why it only supports "old type signature". Is there an easy answer to that?
