Is is possible to make ClamAV use less memory perhaps by repetitive
scanning with a smaller subset of the virus signature file at a time?

freshclam and clamd can use diff database dir, so if you really like to not use main.cvd then setup freshclam.conf with database dir of freshclam, then use rsync for daily.* from the freshclam to clamd database dir

Thanks. How can I do that?

see freshclam.conf (database)

dont use /tmp here, else freshclam will download forever

from the freshclam database dir you can now copy files as you like over to clamd database dir, got it ?

if you like to mangle it even more one can simply do a sigtool --unpack-current=main and sigtool --unpack-current=daily

and then delete signature one does not want to scan with

clamdoc.pdf from 0.97.8
(present on my Fedora desktop) doesn't answer that for me.

tex & pdf files is more or less from 2008 :(

man 1 sigtool

gives 3 -b listnings of what it does :(

in clamav 0.98

remember no one can force anyone to not run lowmemed :)

Indeed. :-)

what virus do you like to catch ?
I hope none. :-)

sounds safe with a rpm distros
