This can not happened with Securiteinfo.com sigs. We remove signatures when

Why ?
Clamav official signatures + all 3rd party signatures needs a lot of system
RAM. Optimizing
our signatures to scan faster and use less RAM should be
Hmm, that's strange. I have noted exactly the opposite behavior. My
customsig.ndb sigs
only get applied after official ClamAV detection has run. I know this because
