Ok, at the time, doing an etag check then download seemed very simple and very
stable… but given the recent updates, I’ll dive back into trying to setup
freshclam with that config change. Thanks for the info.

clamav uses over 1GB of RAM to hold the virus database.

Maybe it’s the initial setup, but attempting to run freshclam on my 512MB

what I read on other posts, was related to memory shortages. I checked for
other processes the time, and clamd was not in the list.

Setting the 'TestDatabases' option to false in freshclam.conf will prevent
freshclam from loading the database file into memory before replacing the
actual CVDs that clamd will use. The potential downside with this is that
if a CVD ends up having load issues for some reason (which shouldn't happen
I've never seen any problem with freshclam's memory footprint.
On my Windows box, freshclam runs taking up all of 2.6MB.
Clamd, on the other hand sucks down 1.4GB.
There is no need to run clamd for the situation you are dealing with.

Directly downloading the raw cld files is no longer scalable.

Is there a way to minimize the amount of memory freshclam uses so it will run
on an instance with 512MB?

I originally tried to setup Freshclam but found that, like the scan, it
consumes a large amount of memory. I have an instance large enough to run the
scans, but it is on an internal subnet without external access… but downloading
files takes almost no memory, so to save some cost I just setup a
Are you using Freshclam to download the updates?

Hello,
Yesterday, for some reason, all my AWS VMs receive a 403 Forbidden response
from clamav when attempting to pull the latest cvd files. I’ve tried from two
different instances, from a lambda, and then from my local machine. All result
in the same response:
