Hi,

wouldn't it be great to have some kind of virus description library like
NAI's VIL at <http://vil.nai.com/vil/default.asp> for ClamAV? Are there
any efforts to create one? May I help? Do you think we need one for
ClamAV?

Background:
Today I intercepted an Email (qmail-scanner 1.20/ClamAV 0.65) that
contained "Trojan.Muss.A6". I cross-scanned the archive with McAfee's
uvscan that did not found that trojan. Some with some other scanners.

After some research I realized that this is a porn dialer (see
<http://us.mcafee.com/virusInfo/default.asp?id=description&virus_k=100807>)
and not recognized by VirusScan by default. 

While researching I thought: "Why is there no Virus Description Library
for ClamAV where I can look up the virus name and get some explaining
words or -- even better? -- some links to VIL or others?"

What do you think?

Alex
