[clamav-users] Use ClamAV on ARM Platform (Nvidia

[Michael M. Minor]

Michael Kang:
    It depends on what you are trying to detect.  The signatures should
work fine for detecting the malware they contain signatures for, but if you
are looking for ClamAV to detect malware compiled for ARM, it will detect
them if there are signatures written for that malware. The definitions are
host system agnostic, which is why many people use them on Linux/BSD
systems to detect Windows malware.
