Just a thought, while this idea is still in the 'blue sky' phase.  Why not get the 
various clamav installations to report back counts of detected viruses in the last 24 
hours (as a rough 'n' ready figure) whenever they download new signatures?  Presumably 
you could use the existing encryption techniques in play for the sigs to verify the 
validity of such a report.  Obviously some ppl wouldn't want it known what virii they 
are receiving, etc but presumably the stats would be anonymous and this process would 
be opt-in rather than opt-out.

Dan
