[clamav-users] Clam AV Cost and support for enterprise

[Micah Snyder (micasnyd)]

Karthik,

Based on the C# API, I am guessing that you are using this project: https://github.com/tekmaven/nClam
The developer, Ryan Hoffman, appears to be active on GitHub and answered a GitHub issue for nClam as recently as 8 days ago.
I would recommend seeking help with the C# aspects of your application in a GitHub issue there.  

Regards,
Micah
