Maybe a browsable virus database would be in order. Something ala http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/. The description data from sendvirus.cgi would need to go right in there. Anyone working on something like this already? Even making accepting a link to a commercial av's db entry would do a good job for tracking purposes for the user.

Out of curiosity, what sort of viruses are typically being added to the
database?  Are they mostly new viruses?

Sometimes it's obvious when a user has submitted a large library of old
viruses, but in general it's tough to tell whether the latest crop of
updates have been recently discovered or if the project is just finally
catching up with a bunch of old and relatively rare viruses.

I'm not making a judgement about what should be done, I'm just curious as
to what is actually happening.
