0.90 versions of clamav are known to take forever (up to 15 minutes) to load the virus definitions (using current databases). Clamscan loads the database each time it runs, and clamd once each time the database is updated. You need to use a newer version. -- Gary V ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
