I don't understand why you put "protecting" in quotes, because that's exactly what's happening. There are IPs downloading the entire main and daily databases several times per second, which can only represent either malice or breathtaking stupidity. See Joel's post here https://marc.info/?l=clamav-users&m=161516064110943&w=2 and try not to be stupid. -- 73, Ged. _______________________________________________ clamav-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.clamav.net/mailman/listinfo/clamav-users Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: https://github.com/vrtadmin/clamav-faq http://www.clamav.net/contact.html#ml
