I think Tomasz said 0.70 is coming soon. Personally, I prefer the current snapshot better than 0.67.clamd / ClamAV version 0.67 freshclam / ClamAV version 0.67
See ChangeLog in current CVS snapshot or http://clamav.or.id/snapshot/ChangeLog to see
what has changed. Some of them (especially ArchiveDetectEncrypted) is definitely worth upgrading from 0.67.
I assume your host (or proxy) is protected by firewall?We only got a two small problems, we let freshclam check every hour for updates and it gets them, the problems with it:
Q1. We have had problems with the databasemirror set as database.clamav.net. we got the errors:
From the log:ERROR: Malformed CVD header detected. ERROR: Can't read main.cvd header from database.clamav.net (ourproxy) Trying again...
database.clamav.net has many mirrors (thus returning lots of IP addresses) which
will not fit on DNS UDP response. Usually it will automatically
switch to TCP, but on some cases (if DNS TCP is disabled, or if you're under firewall)
you can't resolve database.clamav.net host.
Either allow DNS TCP response (test it with `nslookup database.clamav.net` on your proxy)After setting it to a real mirror everything went fine. But we prefer to use the database.clamav.net.
or add multiple lines of DatabaseMirror (with different real mirror addresses) on your clamav.conf.
Q2.I think so.
I just read the UpdateDB mail:
Submission: 1890
Sender: Dirk Mueller
Submitted virus name: WM97/Outblack-A
Virus name: WM97.Outblack.A
Virus name alias: IRC-Worm.Blackput (kaspersky)
Note: Latest CVS version of ClamAV is required to detect Note: the macro viruses.
Added: Yes
Does this mean our version of clamav doesn't detect macro viruses at
all?
If so what other forms of virusses doesn't it detect?
Possibly polimorphic ones. However, remember that if you're using an AV scanner on mail server, the majority of virus you will encounter is worms (which ClamAV detects well).
