ClamAV Deflection Update

[RockMaster92]

Is there a way to manually download the deflection update for ClamAV for Immunet?

Deflection? I'm sure you meant malware definition right? 

Here is a link to a previous Support topic. A few fellow forum users devised a way to manually update the ClamAV defs. Hope you find this info useful.

My computer was running sluggish and I deleted Clamv. Should I have done that? Also what about avast?

What do you mean by you deleted ClamAV George? The ClamAV module is an integral part of Immunet's code & no attempt should be made to uninstall it. Did you mean you simply disabled the module in Settings? I hope so or you will need to do an uninstall & reinstall first.

You can run Immunet without ClamAV & use just the ETHOS & SPERO cloud engines. In fact, it is advised if you use Immunet as a companion AV to another AV product that you do disable ClamAV for better system performance. I have Immunet running alongside Panda Dome Advanced with ClamAV disabled for instance.

If Immunet is to be used as a 'stand-alone AV solution' then it is recommended that the ClamAV module remains enabled.

Avast! & Immunet are indeed compatible. By default Avast! Exclusions are already in place with Immunet for that reason.

Just don't forget to add an exclusion/exception/allow rule for Immunet's 'entire Program Files folder' with Avast!. This goes a long way at greatly reducing the chance for some sort of conflict occurring in the future.

Cheers, Ritchie...
