Thank you for reply, Török Edwin, Very, very good web seminar!
I have 2 more questions: 1) I'd like to measure & compare performance of AC & BM algorithms. clamscan displays in 'scan summary' a 'time'. Does this time include disc access, signature tree building in AC(phase1) or BM Just wonder If I can use this time or I should figure out new timestamps. >Time: 2.189 sec (0 m 2 s) 2) I've downloaded Eicar Test Anti-Virus File and crated 10bytes file. (See logs below) Then I've appended Eicar to this file. Why clamscan doesn't find a signature in this file? LOGS: 1.
