Hi, list,

Has anyone noticed that ClamAV does a pretty poor job lately of
catching viruses?  Here are a few days' worth of statistics from a
reasonably-busy mail server cluster:

Total messages scanned:     25 814 586
Viruses detected by ClamAV:     32 147
Viruses missed by ClamAV:      137 231

The second number is a count of all ".exe" files, so it's conceivable some
are not viruses, but the vast majority are... the number is off by at most 1%.
It seems that over 80% of the viruses passing through our servers are
completely missed by ClamAV.  Opinions?  Experiences?

Regards,

David.
