Abstract

The presentation will cover common pitfalls in the deployment of ClamAV,
such as permissions, resource limits and build issues. It will then
recommend best practices for logging, scan limits, SMP systems, usage of
PUA, setting up freshclam, using ClamAV on more hosts on your network and
submitting detection statistics, followed by an overview of the engine
configuration flags found in 0.94.1.

Finally the presentation will describe a recommended upgrade procedure, showing best practices to avoid common pitfalls: reviewing configuration changes, testing the new version before deployment and restarting the daemons.
