[clamav-users] ClamAV scan time improvement

[Vijay Kumar Kamannavar]

Hello Team,

We are leveraging ClamAV agent for our vm's malware detection.

we tried to scan a vm with 30GB used space and it took approx 1.30Hrs(we
tried to capture certain file extensions to reduce number of files and
passed file lists as arguments to clamdclient)
Note:
1. we tried above test with 4 core 8GB vm
2. We tried clamdscan as below

/bin/parallel -j 10 clamdscan -m --fdpass --no-summary --file-list

we have below queries

1. Where can we find bench mark results for clamdscan?

2.What is the recommendation to  make the scan faster for 30GB?

3. What is the recommendation if we have a VM of size >~500GB.


I really appreciate any kind of support here. It helps alot.

Thanks,

Vijay
