Is it safe to disable clamd?
- by mk1000
Clamd is taking up about 5% of my memory (2GB) on my dedicated server and I'm wondering if I can disable it without any security risks.
The server just hosts a few of my own websites. For the most part, email received and sent is done through gmail (which connects to my pop3 accounts).
The only other email use case is where one of my websites parses all emails and grabs attached images and the subject line.
Would there be any security / risks of virus infection if I disable clamd?
