two questions

1. Clamwin full scans are rather slow vs say symantec. Is there a way to speed them up?


2. Is thre a way to attach to a running clamwin scan to access where it is in its scanning process?

thanks

I understand little can be done to speed ClamWin scans in its present version. You'll have to wait for version 1.0 for improved scanning speed. I compensate on my PC by breaking up a complete scan into smaller components during the day: scan Windows at 9 am, scan programs at 12 noon, scan Documents/Settings at 3 pm, etc. Of course, you should be using ClamWin only as a backup scanner if you are on the Web a lot and have a resident scanner as number one.
