21 June: -------------------------------------------------------- Statistics since 19 April 2008 Last Database Update Sat Jun 21 23:11:31 2008 -------------------------------------------------------- Total viruses detected 504 Total Database Signatures 324,485 22 June: -------------------------------------------------------- Statistics since 19 April 2008 Last Database Update Sun Jun 22 23:42:51 2008 -------------------------------------------------------- Total viruses detected 508 Total Database Signatures 326,357 23 June: -------------------------------------------------------- Statistics since 19 April 2008 Last Database Update Mon Jun 23 23:40:04 2008 -------------------------------------------------------- Total viruses detected 516 Total Database Signatures 245,903 This is run at 23:59 nightly, so sometime between Sunday at the time it was ran and yesterday when it ran 80454 signatures were dropped from the database. I did notice this in my clamav log: Mon Jun 23 15:11:20 2008 -> Database correctly reloaded (471837 signatures) Mon Jun 23 16:11:46 2008 -> Database correctly reloaded (391335 signatures) The difference being 80502. Does this mean anything, I don't know, I imagine the number of sigs could vary up and down, I've just never noticed it before. -- Chris KeyID 0xE372A7DA98E6705C
