[clamav-users] Disable MaxFileSize and MaxFileSize to scan the whole system

[Brent Clark]

Hiya

Im sorry to have to tell you, what ever it is you are trying to do and 
are thinking, you are doing it wrong.

I can only imagine how long it will take to scan a massive file. The 
poor CPU is gonna crap it self.

Please do not do this. The default it is plenty.

HTH

Regards
Brent
