Citeren Paul Smith via clamav-users <clamav-users@lists.clamav.net<mailto:clamav-users@lists.clamav.net>>: Indeed. There does seem to be a view from some people here that anyone using ClamAV should be regularly updating, monitoring this list, monitoring blogs, etc. Ordinary people just don't do that. I wonder how many ordinary users are actually *not* using freshclam for updates. Pretty much every major distribution I know of will setup ClamAV in a way that updates are handled through freshclam. Unless you have a *really* fast internet connection, downloading the full .cvd files will be a lot slower than downloading a .cdiff and applying that. I think most ordinary users with reasonably recent ClamAV installations won't even be aware what is happening at the moment. Having said that, I agree a prominent message about the obsolescence of ClamAV < 0.100 and the current download limits is desireable. Traffic wise? About 80% of people aren’t using Freshclam or cvdupdate. What that equates to in real person numbers? I have not done that calculation. -- Joel Esler Manager, Communities Division Cisco Talos Intelligence Group http://www.talosintelligence.com | https://www.snort.org
