Hi All,

 I changed the items in clamd.conf

 MaxScanSize = "157286400"
 MaxFileSize = "104857600"

 But Still, the changes are not reflected in clamscan. I couldn't scan
large files which is of 75MB in size.

 Please help me out.

 I didn't expect such a great response by you guys. Really ClamAV has so
many active members who are contributing very well for its growth.

 I am a newbie. May be my questions seems to be silly. Please consider my
question and I am expecting your replies.

 Thank You.
