Hi, I have a question about version 0.98.1 of Clam antivirus.
I have just compiled and installed version 0.98.1 of Clam on my computer. According to the documentation, this version should support decompression and scanning of files in the Xz compression format. However, when I run clamscan to check an Xz file which I know contains a virus (the EICAR test virus) it fails to detect it. Running it with the debug option, I get an entry in the log saying the file was recognised as a binary. Running clamscan on a Gzip or Bzip2 compressed file containing EICAR detects it correctly, and the debug log shows the file being recognised as a GZIP or a BZIP file (as appropriate). I am running a Linux from Scratch (LFS) system version 6.5, containing Xz version 5.0.3. Yours, Bill. _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: https://github.com/vrtadmin/clamav-faq http://www.clamav.net/support/ml
