Hi shuttlebox, What's a regular file? If "regular file" means "not an archive" or "something which doesn't require processing" then I agree with you. Scanning archives, by definition, takes longer than scanning "non archives". OLE2 files are archives, hence they scan slowly. Now, are you saying that a particular PPT file takes ages or that every PPT file scans slowly? If the former, then please provide us with the slow-scanning file. If the latter then you may want to tweak your scan options. -aCaB _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
