basic question: with clamscan is it better to work with --include-dir or with --exclude-dir?
generally I recommend only include directories you need to scan and optionally exclude their subdirectories that don't need to be scanned.
you should avoid scanning everything, because there are many files you should not scan, especially on UN*X systems there are filesystemd like /dev /proc /sys etc.
so, scanning /home should be safe. You may want to exclude e.g. /home/backups if you put backups there
My clamscan scans my whole PC extremely slow or shoud i set the process priority high?
priority won't help. You need at least 2GB of RAM and enough of time. -- Matus UHLAR - fantomas, uh...@fantomas.sk ; http://www.fantomas.sk/ Warning: I wish NOT to receive e-mail advertising to this address.
