Greetings
We installed ClamAV on a linux server a while ago and just (to our
surprise) ran out of disk space.
When I looked in /var/clamav I found a mass of folders, one per day,
with names like clamav-0469ab0d85545be0513157f39be9ccd6.
Each of the folders are 700+MB in size.
I presume that these are virus definitions and that it's safe to blow
any away earlier than today?
An idea why they would still be there and if we've perhaps
mis-configured anything?
TIA
Nigel
