What are the *.db* files? What are the *.cvd files? Is the *.db* file just a list which will be compiled into binary file (namely the .cvd files)?Simply put, the *.cvd is the new format vor viruses.db and viruses.db2. As the name implied, main.cvd is the main virus signature database (rarely updated) and daily.cvd is the database which contains most recent virus signatures (frequently updated). *.cvd does not require *.md5 files to verify database integrity anymore. It is also smaller (less than half in size) compared to *.db. You can test database integrity with `sigtool -i daily.cvd` or `sigtool -i main.cvd`.
If you want to add your own virus definition, you can still do it using the old *.db format, name it anything-you-want.db, and put it in signatures directory. ClamAV will pick it up automatically.
