But clamd should still be able to scan that without needing 3M RAM per 1M filesize (roughly that what was implied). Other AVs grow to a max size and then don't get any bigger - I asume they scan the file using a "window" of some description - to keep resource requirements down? -- Cheers Jason Haar Information Security Manager, Trimble Navigation Ltd.
