ClamWin: compress local database

Howdy
the online updates make the db very large-I asked at camwin forums and they suggested to change this: CompressLocalDatabase = yes in the ClamWin.conf file.
There are 2 of those files 1 in data/settings and 1 in app/defaultData/settings is that option in either of those files and or can I add it? I am using the program locally in folder PortableApps.
Thanks
Bill

Should be fine to do. This

Should be fine to do. This may slow things down running from removable media, but for a local install it would be the same as changing this setting in a proper installation of the program.

The one in Data/settings is the "live" version of the file. The one in App/DefaultData/settings will only ever be used if your Data/settings directory goes missing. It is up to you if you change the one in DefaultData or not.

Change the one in

Change the one in Data/settings. The one in DefaultData is optional.

The option may already be there, if not just add it in.
