I updated the CLAMDB package on last month from the link you sent me. However, somehow, I managed not to update the MAIN.CVD file. So, I just updated the package again from the files you sent and the newer database will be on the next Interim Build. If you want to look at DB package before the next Interim build to verify things look correct, you can fetch a version of the FreeDOS package from https://gitlab.com/FreeDOS/util/clamdb/-/releases <https://gitlab.com/FreeDOS/util/clamdb/-/releases> Please note, the package generated by the CI/CD pipeline is not identical to the package that will be on a Release or Interim Build at present. There are some slight differences in the metadata and with some other minor aspects. Eventually when the CI/CD pipeline is finished and implemented across all packages, I will probably update the RBE to just use the versions created by the CI/CD. Not having the RBE need to clone, verify and build each package itself will decrease release build time a lot. > I have reported about this theme already two times, but for not reproducable > reasons there is no change till now. > > At: > https://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/util/system/clamav/ > <https://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/util/system/clamav/> > there are three different files: > a) clamav (command line virus scanner) ca. 3 MB > b) clamdbx (database) ca. 23 MB > c) fdav ca. 700 kB > I created a newer version: > d) clamdbx 54 (database) ca. 30 MB > To make the virus checker work FD needs ca. 128 MB RAM. > > As FDT2212 Bonus CD contains a) and b) with a size of 26 MB, it would not use > much more space to add fdav 0.2.2 in the same folder, a GUI for virus > checking. > This tool was created by Blair Dude, his website is > https://sites.google.com/site/blairdude/home, there was no more activity > since in about 2010. > I created an update of the ver 54 database for Jerome Shidel / FD.

FDAV has not been included with FreeDOS for a very long time. At present, there is not even a package for it in the GItLab Archive or on the Update Repositories for 1.1, 1.2 or 1.3. Whether or not FDAV is included, replaces CLAMAV or both are excluded from future releases, the topic should to be discussed with the group. > Fritz / Willi Jerome
