[Clamav-users] Hardware acceleration for virus scanning

2008-12-03 Thread Babu.N
Hi,

I remember that clamAV once supported Sensory networks' Nodal core 
acceleration. But I don't find this support in the source code 
(clamav-0.94.2) I have downloaded today.

Does ClamAV support hardware acceleration for virus scanning ? Please clarify.


Thanks,
Babu

If it were me, I would use either the latest version of Windows that
your can get, or use FreeBSD to handle the job.

Thanks, Tomasz.  I kind of went paranoid, given the scary report
recently referred in my OP.

Re: [Clamav-users] Usage of the ClamAV-Logo

Sven,

I am sorry it has taken so long for me to reply to this.

 I am looking into this question right now so your timing was interesting, 
hence the delay.

I wanted to ensure that I had the correct information for you. I still don't 
have the definitive answer,
as soon as I have that I will post a follow-up here. In the meantime I 
wanted you to have something
and to know that I haven't ignored your request.

For now you may like to know that it the likely usage of ClamAV and the logo 
are those that you'd
be likely to do anyway:

1) Use the letters TM after the first usage of ClamAV.
2) The A and V should be upper case, thus "ClamAV".
3) You must reference Sourcefire as the owner of the ClamAV name and logo in 
a manner that is satisfactory
to Sourcefire.

Hope that helps you. Feel free to contact me directly if you want.

Regards,

-Nigel Horne

This is interesting. I will need to change the logo for the ClamAV live cd
then :-(.

[Clamav-users] How to mirror the signatures?

2008-12-03 Thread Michelle Konzack

*   Do not Cc: me, because I READ THIS LIST, if I write here   *
*Keine Cc: am mich, ich LESE DIESE LISTE wenn ich hier schreibe*


Hello,

I am working from A Mobile-Office with several Servers and  workstations
and I have the need to install clamav on each of them.  My  problem  is,
that the signatures are heavy and I am on GSM/GPRS/UMTS and want o avoid
downloading the stuff several times.

So, now I like to know, how to mirror the signatures so I can update  my
Computers from one of my Intranet-Servers?

Note:  I am using Debian GNU/Linux Etch.

Thanks, Greetings and nice Day/Evening

[Clamav-users] clamstats

2008-12-03 Thread Chris
I'm a bit confused. Looking at my clamstats for 30 Nov I see:

Last Database UpdateSun Nov 30 23:32:57 2008

Total viruses detected  407
Total Database Signatures   469,236

for 1 Dec:

Last Database UpdateMon Dec  1 23:11:34 2008

Total viruses detected  413
Total Database Signatures   31,346

In the script I run there is this line:

if (/main\.(?:cvd|inc).+\(version:\s(\d+),\ssigs:\s(\d+),/) {
#print "MAIN: $2\n";
$fcmainversion = $1;
$fcmaincount = $2;

Up until today the first line read:

if (/main\.(?:cld|inc).+\(version:\s(\d+),\ssigs:\s(\d+),/) {

and was giving total sigs as shown on 30 Nov, on 1 Dec the total dropped as 
shown. I just went in and changed :cld to :cvd which brought the total sigs 
back to what I imagine is the correct amount.

Last Database UpdateWed Dec  3 21:24:51 2008

Total viruses detected  429
Total Database Signatures   470,759

Seems like every month or so I have to make the change from either cld to cvd 
or cvd to cld. What, if anything, could be the reason for this?
