ClamAV on FreeBSD - ports or Perl module?

[David Jacobson]

Hi Mike,

I'd recommend installing ClamAV from source and getting the module via
CPAN.

The module is a lot faster and if you have auto in your Virus Scanners
function it will pick up the module as the preferred scanneer.

Kind Regards,
David
