1. This is a feature request but SF.net forum doesnt.t work for me. I tried it for one hour and I'm tired.

2. Clamwin is very slow when scanning my system. The main problem is that by default it scans nearly every file (with just s small black list). Even my media collection (mp3, avi...) was scanned. So I added a "white list" by myself with exe, dll, doc and what came into my mind and the scanning time was ok. I took the white list from another popular scanner. There should be by default such an "recommend file list" option, so the average user will not scan just all of his files and wonders why it takes so long.

3. Good job.

I've got Version 0.9 now. I Scanned my HD with about 90.000 files but it just excluded 109 files. Clamwin did not exclude *.mp3. And the update deleted my white list.... what about just putting in a white list (or a big black list) as recommend and a small hint to scan all the files if you got some time Wink

btw: *.dbx is excluded by default. Afaik Outlook Express stores his messages in large dbx files, I'm not shure if the email attachements are stored in that file too. In that case, the dbx files should be scanned.
