Yes, that is what I notice.
However the internal files generated by clam doesn't have that many lines.
So I am missing something here. Thanks.

Output from freshclam

main.cvd is up to date (version: 38, sigs: 51206, f-level: 7, builder:
tkojm)
daily.cvd is up to date (version: 1455, sigs: 3600, f-level: 8, builder:
ccordes)

So 54806 current signatures (if my end of day math is correct)

Regards,

Rick
