Do you call people Eskimos or Inuits? They're still the same people, but
looking up one or other in some information resource may provide different
results.

No, many people are interested to know more about the viruses which are being
detected.
If you do a Google search for "NetSky virus" you get 308,000 results. If you
do a Google search for "SomeFool virus" you get 2,080.
Therefore knowing the more common name for a virus is useful to people who use
ClamAV.
