[clamav-users] Bug on public ClamAV Virus Database Search (clamgrok)

Sorry Sierk, I don’t recall how many there were before, but in checking the current databases themselves, the numbers match.  Main has 145 and daily has 141.

The ClamXav database has over 64,000 “OSX" sigs.

I’d have to guess daily.db, daily.zmd and main.db no longer exist in the new format.

I don’t believe that Cisco/ClamAV has responsible for it.  Last time I checked the server was near Englewood, Colorado, USA and the script owner was somebody named Scott.
