I assume you're running clamscan, it has a horrible startup time. Try running clamd, it will load the virus db once, then you use clamdscan instead of clamscan as a client. Much faster. /peter _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://www.clamav.net/support/ml
