I'm using Clamav and improving Clamav for my final exams. Actually i very need you all help for my misunderstanding of clamscan scandir() algorithm. The matther that, in my Clamav-like application, if it have been running until +- 5 minutes, it is going to system hang and all process on my system become very very slow. I think that is because the recursive algorithm i have applied. My scanner running good with the directories which doesn't contain a lot of other directory. But, if i scanned /usr directory, the computer (Slackware system) is going to down, step by step ;p The question is, how the basic strategy of clamav to make the recursive scanning (on Clamscan) become fast and running without any recursive problem (like on my system) on it. Thanks all, i hope you can help me. _______________________________________________ http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-devel.html Please submit your patches to our Bugzilla: http://bugs.clamav.net
