clamav_regex.db | **ClamAV standard regex signatures.** Same as the above, except that the signatures in this signature file can contain regular expressions (whereas signatures from the above can't).
88
clamav.fdb | **ClamAV filename signatures.** Signatures in this signature file deal solely and specifically with the names of the files being scanned (e.g., the names of uploaded files as per supplied by the client attempting the upload). It probably won't catch too much, but the memory footprint and performance cost is extremely small, it has a very low false positive risk, and could potentially reduce the memory footprint of other signature files when it catches things by making it unnecessary to scan the caught files further in some cases. Generally recommended for most phpMussel setups.
99
clamav.hdb | **ClamAV hash signatures.** Whenever a file is scanned by phpMussel, a hash for that file is generated, and then checked against hash signatures to match against any potential specific, already known malicious files. Almost entirely useless against more modern, polymorphic viruses and malware, but relatively useful against older, non-polymorphic viruses and malware. The memory footprint and performance cost is relatively small, and it has a very low false positive risk. Generally recommended for most phpMussel setups.

clamav.htdb | **ClamAV HTML signatures.** Signatures in this signature file work with HTML-normalised file content. If there's any possibility that HTML content could be uploaded to your website, or that your phpMussel setup could be used to scan HTML content, then you should, in most cases, use this signature file. If not though, it won't most likely won't be particularly useful for you and should be ignored.

clamav.mdb | **ClamAV PE sectional signatures.** Signatures in this signature file work with the hashes that are generated by phpMussel when it scans PE files (i.e., Windows "portable executable" files), representing the various sections inside those PE files. If there's any possibility that your phpMussel setup could be used to scan PE files, then you should, in most cases, use this signature file. If not though, it won't most likely won't be particularly useful for you and should be ignored. (Of course, in general, I would advise against allowing PE files to be uploaded to your website anyway, due to the significantly higher risk factor associated with this type of file, regardless of precautions and safeguards used).

clamav.ndb | **ClamAV normalised signatures.** Signatures in this signature file work with ANSI-normalised file content (in the context of phpMussel, "ANSI-normalised" means lowercased, and with all non-ANSI characters and all characters outside of 21-7e stripped out). Covers a wide range of formats. Has a relatively low to average false positive risk, but also contains a very large number of signatures that aren't filtered by context (e.g., the type of file being scanned, its size, its extension, its magic number, etc). Due to the large number of unfiltered signatures, performance could sometimes be significantly reduced when scanning large files. If your phpMussel setup or your website's upload facility regularly needs to process large files, and if your machine's processing capacity is limited (e.g., not much RAM available, single-thread or single-process setups, using shared hosting with specific memory caps, etc), then this particular signature file should, in most cases, be avoided. Otherwise, if your server's processing capacity is good, or if your phpMussel setup or your website's upload facility generally only needs to process small files, it would be recommended.

clamav_ole.db | **ClamAV OLE signatures.** Whenever a file is scanned by phpMussel, phpMussel will attempt to detect any OLE objects contained inside the file. Signatures in this signature file work with those OLE objects. Microsoft Word documents are a good example of files that can sometimes contain OLE objects (there are numerous other types of files that can also contain OLE objects though). If there's any possibility that your phpMussel setup could be used to scan files capable of containing OLE objects, then you should, in most cases, use this signature file. If not though, it won't most likely won't be particularly useful for you and should be ignored. It should be noted however, that phpMussel's ability to detect OLE objects hasn't yet quite been perfected, and so there may be numerous occasions where phpMussel fails to detect the OLE objects contained in some types of files, or in files crafted in a particular way (it is planned however, to improve phpMussel's ability to detect OLE objects in the future).
