Thanks. I hadn't looked back nearly that far.


Something really odd is going on then. Is it possible all of these folks really are suddenly infected? Something to research...

It makes more sense now. I'm running Debian stable, and had installed Luca Gibelli's 0.65-1 backport.

I had ignored his README, which states very clearly that you need to remove the old-format virus database files. I guess freshclam must use those in preference to the .cvd's. (I wonder why). I found out that a couple of signatures had been removed for that trojan between the date of my old-format files and the latest .cvd's.

Upon obtaining, building, and installing the Debian source testing packages on my system, the problem went away. Turns out that the clamav-freshclam package from them deletes the old-format files upon installation. Kudos to Stephen Gran, the Debian maintainer.

What still doesn't make sense is why I suddenly started seeing the problem.
