[clamav-users] clamscan vs clamdscan

[iulian stan]

Dear Christian, 

It's normal that scanning with clamdscan takes a shorter time than
clamscan because the virus databases is already loaded (since it's a
daemon) and ready for action. For testing purposes(debugging, etc) you
can use clamscan for all other purposes use clamdscan where you don't
need to wait to load the virus database on each run.

Best regards,
Iulian
