One or two other AVīs were able to recognize at least NetSky with a heuristic detection. Thatīs the reason why we named them differently. I think we donīt need to hide from any commercial AV when it comes to response time. Of course thatīs only possible because users sent samples to us just in time. If you want to know how many updates were released, just take a look at http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum=clamav-virusdb hth -- Best regards, Christoph mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net is sponsored by: Speed Start Your Linux Apps Now.
