Hi Dennis, My tar indeed exceeds these parameters, i'm using the cli of clamscan (no wrapper) but I don't see any error messages in normal mode. In the debug I do see messages that these paremeters are exceeded, so I raised these paremeters to accomodate the file size and scansize but I still doesn't work.

But I did a test in which i have put an eicar file in different directories including the top-directory, clamscan cannot detect any of the eicar files.

If this the the case you should also see errors if you are running this from a command line. If you are using any kind of wrapper that hides the error text then you will see nothing. dp _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: https://github.com/vrtadmin/clamav-faq http://www.clamav.net/support/ml _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: https://github.com/vrtadmin/clamav-faq http://www.clamav.net/support/ml
