i think you can also transform the CVD file into a human readable thing?

i'm not sure, but if you do: sigtool --unpack-current daily.cvd
you get a human readable viruses.db, i'm not sure where this is actually generated from? (your system or the online database?)
does anyone know where?


cheers

With the release of thei Bagle/Beagle/whatever worm, I was asked to check if our scanner (clamav) was updated to catch it. In previous versions of ClamAV, when the virus definition file was plaintext, that was easy for me as I would just grep the virus file and see if the virus in question is listed. However, now that the virus files are in the new .cvd format... how can I do this? Is there a way to have clamav list what viruses are in the virus definition file? And/or is there a way to search for a particular virus? Not really important to be able to search, as long as I can get a listing of all the viruses that it catches....

You can go through the clamav-virusdb list, since the changes are listed there.
