Hi All, I would like to install ClamAV for Windows Desktop Operating System. I know that ClamAV Official Database (.cvd files) contains all kinds of malware in terms of platform specific (Linux,UNIX,Unix Like) in single file(s)(daily.cvd ,main.cvd) and i heard that unix malware can't effect windows machine or vice versa. so i would like to separate the windows malware signatures from ClamAV Official database and add them in custom virus database to optimize the virus database size and to improve windows malware detetcion faster.
if my thouhgts and understanding is wrong, please correct me Any help and suggestions would be appreciated on this On 13 April 2017 at 05:52, Dennis Peterson <denni...@inetnw.com> wrote: > The ClamAV product is designed to be used for real time detection with > mail transport agents and to respond on detection.
