Hi All,

I have ClamWin installed on my VPS to do e-mail scanning (hMailServer) and also set to do full system scans once a day. The issue I am having is that during these scheduled scans ClamWin is using massive amounts of RAM. My VPS only has 384MB of RAM (no burst) and ClamWin often reaches in excess of 100MB of that which is causing a lot of my web related services to fail as there is no available RAM. This seems a tad excessive for me and I was just wondering if there is anyway I can limit the amount of Physical RAM used by ClamWin during the scanning process?

these tips may help:
exclude
*.msi
*.cab
media files by extension (this will be done directly by clamwin in the next release)
also disable archive scanning may help a lot

Cool thanks. I'll try disabling archive scanning for now and see how that goes. Cheers
