[clamav-users] ClamWin finds malware, ClamAV doesn't.

[Jay Gattuso]

Thanks for your questions and suggestions.

I had a look via the --debug method, and found the following in the clamAV call:- 

LibClamAV debug: cli_updatelimits: filesize exceeded (allowed: 26214400, needed: 104096320) 

To check this, I ran clamAV with an eicar string test and got the expected hit:

D:\clamav_testing\EICAR_string.py: Eicar-Test-Signature FOUND

----------- SCAN SUMMARY -----------
Known viruses: 4667494
Engine version: 0.99.2
Scanned directories: 0
Scanned files: 1
Infected files: 1
Data scanned: 0.00 MB
Data read: 0.00 MB (ratio 0.00:1)
Time: 7.622 sec (0 m 7 s)

Is there somewhere in the clamAV config I can set the cli_updatelimits: filesize to be larger? 

In the install dir I only see clamd.conf and freshclam.conf:

TCPSocket 3310
MaxThreads 2
LogFile C:\working\clam_av_logs\clamd.txt
DatabaseDirectory C:\Program Files\clamav-amd64-0.99.2\db




DatabaseMirror database.clamav.net
DNSDatabaseInfo current.cvd.clamav.net



Thanks,
