Hello, thank you for the response. I tried to reinstall clamav after I saw that there was a new update, but when I install it, it installs version 0.102.4.
Could you give me an example of an ‘ExcludePath’ that could do the following: Exclude a file in /path/to/file Exclude a file in /different/path/to/file Exclude all files with a .sys extension, regardless of path P.S. I am mounting many file systems on a system, and scanning all the files in them. On Wed, Jan 27, 2021 at 10:41 AM G.W.
