I also think it would be VERY nice to have the date and time the virus was added included in either the definition database or in this reference database. Do any other AV vendors include this info in their sig databases? If they DO, then we might be able to import that information into our cross references too. I think it would also be good to design the database tables (assuming we end up going with a relational database) in such a way that it is efficient to query not only for ClamAV viruses to retrieve what the OTHER guys call it, but also to query the other guys' name and see what ClamAV calls it. Hmmm... then again, this is starting to sound like a separate project. -- Jesse Guardiani, Systems Administrator WingNET Internet Services, P.O.
