      Well, I see a bunch of options in clamd.conf and I was wondering if changing them did anything and if so, why not have it in the gui?  On top of that I was wondering why there were 3 different config files and what each one housed.  I guess the end result I'd be looking for how to make changes if something were not being scanned properly.

        When something's not passed to ClamAV, it's not going to get scanned. What's passed is NOT controlled by clamd.conf at all. Regardless, as noted on other threads, this is being completely reworked because the corrent code is unfixable. You'll be able to manage things either manually in the advanced fields, or via the GUI options, not both at the same time. Totally broken.

        Manual config:

        GUI config:

            Good to know.  So, there isn't anything we need to do in c-icap.conf or c-icap.magic?  Everything is in the squidclamav.conf?  I'll just stick to the GUI options for now.  Thanks.

              The screenshot is obviously truncated…

              Those fields are greyed out, disabled and empty unless you enable manual configuration.

                  I've been lurking following the pull requests and your work on github. Very nice job so far, keep up the good work!

                    I'm looking to make some changes to stop the "Heuristics.Broken.Executable" issue from coming up but I'm not sure where I would put in the "DetectBrokenExecutables  no".  Would that go in the squidclamav.conf file?

                      No; that goes to clamd.conf - however, that's the default.

                        That's default now?  Nice.  The last builds I made were in the 2.1.4s and it had to be put in manually into the clamd.conf.  I didn't know if it needed to go in the same place with this package.  I'm so glad to be rid of those annoying messages by default now.  What is a broken executable?  They download and run fine so I'm not sure what is flagging.

                          That's always been the default with ClamAV AFAICT.

                          With this option clamav will try to detect broken executables (both PE and

                          ELF) and mark them as Broken.Executable.

                          # Default: no
                          #DetectBrokenExecutables yes

                          Anything having "broken" PE header.

                            All I know is that whenever I deploy pfSense with ClamAV then my customers complain about being unable to download files because of the "Heuristics.Broken.Executable" error.  If I don't need to go and modify the config file for that anymore I'd be happy.  I always seem to forget…
