I seem to remember last time this came up that there was a plan to include
some sort of info regarding the classification of the virus (executable,
macro, script, that sort of thing) as well as either a URL or some sort of
index number which could be used to reference a list of further details about
the specific virus. I think this was associated with the plan to change the
database format for the virus signatures, however all of this could just be
an indication over my sheer optimism and an over-active imagination.
