Granted, the latest wildlist is from October 2007, but it would be interesting to see the results as several vendors use their wildlist detection as a marketing tool (or at least used to). Also, I was wondering if there was any solid method of actually doing a comparison on my own, as the wildlist provides only virus names, which do not match the naming convention used by ClamAV. Any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Mount the remote Windows box to a directory on the Linux box, use the options to not scan the swap(page) file(s). Use the delete option with caution. Use the Windows file system scandisk to make sure the Windows file system is correct and use defrag (turn off rearrange to make applications start faster option) to make the scanning faster. Periodically pull the drive out of the Windows machine, delete the swap(page) file(s), the temporary internet files and all the .tmp files in the Windows/temp directory, the history files. Watch for multiple swap files. Used to have 30 Windows boxes on the network, now just six, all CAD/CAM boxes. You should scan the Windows boxes over night, every night. ___ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
