Hello Masaru, I think I am not being able to explain my question. Here is one more try in perhaps little strange approach: When I run clamscan/clamdscan on entire file system, why doesn't it use "find" command to get the list of modified files since last time and run scan on them? In which cases, "find" would not work? Thanks in advance, -Neel.
