In the past I read that ClamAV is very resource hungry with a negligible detection rate for anything current. Has this changed? Does anyone know of some recent, independent comparison on detection rates?

Tbh, that doesn't sound different from any other antivirus software

Yeah, good reminder. Security tools need constant scrutiny too
