Jim Hello again, My previous reply (not aimed at anyone in particular, might I add), was merely trying to point out, that no matter what the config file is called, people will still ask the same questions regarding why clamscan isn't doing this or that, for the pure and simple reason that they didn't fully read the docs or manpages. Apologies if my earlier post seemed a bit offhand. All the best, Matt --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: Oracle 10g Get certified on the hottest thing ever to hit the market... Oracle 10g.

Jim The problem arises because we users are lazy and our lazy eyes can't differential between clamscan and clamdscan and clamd. The names are all too similar! Now freshclam is a reasonably different name and we don't get freshclam.conf confused with clamav.conf (even though they can be merged). My point is that if we could make the names of the processes more distinguishable and match the conf files (if any) then we remove the chance of error. For example clamscan could be renamed to scanclam (with NO scanclam.conf), clamdscan renamed as daemonclam (with daemonclam.conf) or something like that. Just my thoughts, but anyway the product is absolutely fantastic and streets ahead of the competition. Keep up the good work. Bill

I may be wrong in my thinking but clamdscan and clamscan are not really the same thing. What you have in clamav.conf is really just for clamd/clamdscan. (the options anyway).
