[clamav-users] issues with EICAR-test-file

[Christian]

Hello Arjen,


thank you so much for your reply,

O.K., that´s the explanation then.
Running BodhiLinux in a VM (qemu/kvm) I originally assigned 1 GB of
virtual RAM to it.
I changend that to 2 GB and now indeed clamdscan and clamscan work:


clamdscan EICAR-Testdatei.txt
/home/rosika2/Dokumente/kgw/EICAR-Testdatei.txt: Eicar-Signature FOUND

----------- SCAN SUMMARY -----------
Infected files: 1
Time: 0.044 sec (0 m 0 s)

AND:

clamscan ./EICAR-Testdatei.txt
./EICAR-Testdatei.txt: Eicar-Signature FOUND

----------- SCAN SUMMARY -----------
Known viruses: 6930494
Engine version: 0.102.2

Thanks a lot again for your help.
