Thats obvious, but if you read my original email, you will notice I wasn't complaining about it - just asking. However, while I am on the subject (again, no compliaints if it doesn't happen) - is there a plan to name any newly detected viri based on their common name if the ClamAV name isn't recognised as the new viruses name? There are just questions, not issues I have with the project. > Your call. > > Cheers, > > Phil > > --------------------------------------------- > Phil Randal > Network Engineer > Herefordshire Council > Hereford, UK > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Andrew > > McCall > > Sent: 26 February 2004 10:50 > > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Subject: [Clamav-users] Why are the virus names different? > > > > > > Hi, > > > > Can anyone tell me why the virus names within ClamAV are > > different from ones > > from other virus vendors? > > > > For example, W32.Netsky.B (as called by Sophos, McAfee etc.) > > is detected and > > named Worm.Somefool by ClamAV. > > > > Thanks, > > > > Andrew McCall > > > > > > > > ------------------------------------------------------- > > SF.Net is sponsored by: Speed Start Your Linux Apps Now. > > Build and deploy apps & Web services for Linux with > > a free DVD software kit from IBM.
