Hello Bowie,
I did a check on the SecuriteInfo signatures. I grepped my clamd logs for hits
on
SecuriteInfo signatures and then matched them to the file they came from.
#1 was spam_marketing.ndb with 110 hits
#2 was javascript.ndb with 10 hits
And that was it. securiteinfo.hdb, securiteinfohtml.hdb, and
securiteinfoascii.hdb
did not produce a single hit on my system in the past year. Unfortunately,
removing
those signatures does not have much of an effect on the reload times.
Do you have Professional subscription ?
If no : you'll have many more hits if you have Professional subscription.
If yes : you forget some important databases to get more hits. Please
login to you account.
Anyway, here are sorted loading time on my system (Intel i7-6700 CPU)
using time clamscan -d :
securiteinfo0hour.hdb : 0.021s
securiteinfo.mdb : 0.033s
securiteinfopdf.hdb : 0.047s
securiteinfohtml.hdb : 0.076s
securiteinfoascii.hdb : 0.163s
securiteinfoandroid.hdb : 0.214s
spam_marketing.ndb : 0.332s
securiteinfo.hdb : 0.894s
securiteinfoold.hdb : 6.801s
javascript.ndb : 21.133s
An antivirus is like any other software : it has minimum requirements.
Every years, it is dozen of thousands malwares in the wild. If we want
to detect all of them, we have to include them in antivirus databases.
That's why I recommend to get a *fast* CPU and a lot of RAM, because it
still growing past years !
In my opinion it is a bad idea to run clamAV+our provided databases
signatures on low performance CPU (VMs, embeeded systems, old hardware, ...)
Could you please tell us the CPU you use ?
