The ClamAV maintainers # will then use this data to determine what types of malware are the most # detected in the field and in what geographic area they are. # Freshclam will connect to clamd in order to get recent statistics. # Default: no #SubmitDetectionStats /path/to/clamd.conf # Country of origin of malware/detection statistics (for statistical # purposes only). The statistics collector at ClamAV.net will look up # your IP address to determine the geographical origin of the malware # reported by your installation. If this installation is mainly used to # scan data which comes from a different location, please enable this # option and enter a two-letter code (see http://www.iana.org/domains/root/db/) # of the country of origin. # Default: disabled #DetectionStatsCountry country-code # This option enables support for our "Personal Statistics" service. # When this option is enabled, the information on malware detected by # your clamd installation is made available to you through our website. # To get your HostID, log on http://www.stats.clamav.net and add a new # host to your host list. Once you have the HostID, uncomment this option # and paste the HostID here. As soon as your freshclam starts submitting # information to our stats collecting service, you will be able to view # the statistics of this clamd installation by logging into # http://www.stats.clamav.net with the same credentials you used to # generate the HostID. For more information refer to: # http://www.clamav.net/support/faq/faq-cctts/ # This feature requires SubmitDetectionStats to be enabled. # Default: disabled #DetectionStatsHostID unique-id # This option enables support for Google Safe Browsing. When activated for # the first time, freshclam will download a new database file (safebrowsing.cvd) # which will be automatically loaded by clamd and clamscan during the next # reload, provided that the heuristic phishing detection is turned on. This # database includes information about websites that may be phishing sites or # possible sources of malware. When using this option, it's mandatory to run # freshclam at least every 30 minutes. # Freshclam uses the ClamAV's mirror infrastructure to distribute the # database and its updates but all the contents are provided under Google's # terms of use. See http://code.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=70015 # and http://safebrowsing.clamav.net for more information. # Default: disabled #SafeBrowsing yes # This option enables downloading of bytecode.cvd, which includes additional # detection mechanisms and improvements to the ClamAV engine. # Default: enabled #Bytecode yes # Download an additional 3rd party signature database distributed through # the ClamAV mirrors. Here you can find a list of available databases: # http://www.clamav.net/download/cvd/3rdparty # This option can be used multiple times. #ExtraDatabase dbname1 #ExtraDatabase dbname2
