Could it be an idea to request possibility to list an alias in the output. For example if one is running both f-prot and clamav, and want one statistic. Then you might want to tell clamav to list the f-prot alias in log. Or maybe somewhere else get the alias to use as input when running your favourite statistic-tools. Could this be achieved by having a table for aliases for the different av-tools? Then you could even name the virus with a serialnumber and the statistics would never need to start again after a namechange. Just an idea, have not thought to deep about this. -- Lars ---------------------------------------------------------------- Tjenesten mail.adventuras.no ble levert av Adventuras Web Agency http://www.adventuras.no/ ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
