[clamav-users] Virus Signature queries

[pritha srivastava]

1. What do you mean by static malware. Why is MD5 based signature matching 
suitable for static malware?
2. What do you mean by a pre processed file? Why cant we use hash based 
signature matching that undergoes pre-processing?
3. In the scan summary, the data scanned is lesser than the data read. Is the 
data read 
 include the data base also?
