Re: confirm 878cdf1f1ee11bbfe4f147caa216e145422ff8a2

Hi,

I am new to CLAMAV & I am just wonder how files are scanned.

Does it work like:
1. PE section is taken from file to be scanned
2. MD5 is calculated
3. That MD5 is compared to all signatures in ClamAV Database
4. If match virus is found.

I have simplified this. But please let me know if I am right in above
steps for scanning files.

Regards,
Tom
