Thanks Kevin So, how can I set --disable-llvm and --with-system--llvm when I have installed clamav via apt-get?
I searched for solutions in Google but found none. Any sugestions? Any chance I can edit that in /etc/clamav/clamd.conf ? And are there any other tweaks I could do in /etc/clamav/clamd.conf to reduce it's memory footpring?
