I've installed ClamAV 0.98.5 using "brew" on OSX (Yosemite) and I schedule a daily freshclam followed by clamscan using Jenkins-CI.
I've noticed a worrying trend in the scan times over the past couple of weeks: June 20 ----------- SCAN SUMMARY ----------- Known viruses: 3849353 Engine version: 0.98.5 Scanned directories: 199102 Scanned files: 1559603 Infected files: 0 Data scanned: 69081.70 MB Data read: 191713.22 MB (ratio 0.36:1) Time: 27714.616 sec (461 m 54 s) Finished: SUCCESS July 8 ----------- SCAN SUMMARY ----------- Known viruses: 3885885 Engine version: 0.98.5 Scanned directories: 199602 Scanned files: 2465935 Infected files: 0 Data scanned: 72968.66 MB Data read: 206279.09 MB (ratio 0.35:1) Time: 54119.966 sec (901 m 59 s) so that's a ~100% increase in time for a ~10% increase in data read/scanned. The intervening times look pretty much linear between these two points. The full graph is available here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/hyxi9bmpy5uzlsp/ClamAV.png?dl=0 At this rate I won't be able to do daily scans in another 2 weeks or so - they'll take longer than 24 hours. Will an upgrade to 0.98.7 (currently unsupported by "brew") solve this or am I doing something wrong?
