John From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Matt Sent: Friday, November 04, 2005 9:09 AM To: Declude.Virus@declude.com Subject: Re: [Declude.Virus] Second scanner The short answer is that F-prot is the fastest, followed closely by Clam-AV in daemon mode, followed by McAfee followed by Clam-AV in non-daemon mode. EXITSCANONVIRUSDETECT ON shouldn't make much of a difference except for viruses that mail extraodinarily frequently as was the case a few times in the past, but viruses are such a small percentage of your overall mail volume that it shouldn't cause a noticeable change otherwise. I did test with PRESCAN OFF and found with two scanners, F-Prot and McAfee, that the CPU utilization went up by almost 50%, so this isn't recommended unless you have plenty of head room. For details of my tests on the scanners: http://www.mail-archive.com/declude.virus@declude.com/msg09001.html Matt John Carter wrote: This raises a question(s): Has anyone done any real testing of which AVs (in relation to Declude) perform the best, use the least resources, what is the best scanning order, and how many to use (how many is too many and what is the point of diminishing returns)? I realize something like this could drive you drink, but the idea of having the most effective (most hits for least resources used)AV as one, then second best next, etc. (along with EXITSCANONVIRUSDETECT ON) is appealing.
