Hi Mikhail, The growing size of the main and daily databases is a concern for me as well and has been for a few years. I have a plan to archive older signatures that do not appear to be relevant anymore. This plan requires some extensive changes to some SQL databases and middleware that builds the signature databases so that we can restore archived signatures, if required. Those changes have taken a lot longer than I expected. I'm hopeful that we'll be able to test it later this year. If this strategy is successful, then you can expect the size to begin to shrink.
I'm sorry I don't have a more concrete answer.

I found this blog from 3 years ago (ClamAV® blog: ClamAV, CVDs, CDIFFs and the magic behind the curtain<https://blog.clamav.net/2021/03/clamav-cvds-cdiffs-and-magic-behind.html>) but other than the changes in file sizes since then, I’m not sure how accurate this is for the Talos team’s strategy today. Thank you, Mikhail
