Why does it seem that way to you ? I don't think scanning raw mysql database files is going to give usefull results. Myy gut is that you should in fact exclude them. If a database has specific content that could contain a virus and be a problem (is used to store e-mail or downloadable files), then I would think the only real way to do it is to write something to extract that data and scan it outside of the DB file, each one separately -- as if they were individual files. ========================================================== Chris Candreva -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- (914) 948-3162 WestNet Internet Services of Westchester http://www.westnet.com/ _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
