I think your suggestion to place a notice on the ClamAV web page is a good
one, and the right solution for anyone who regards the name discrepancy as a
problem.
I don't agree with the proposal to change the name in ClamAV after so much
time has passed, and after so many variants have been identified.
If people whose email is being protected by ClamAV can't figure out what
Worm.SomeFool means by now, then they need to reassess their information
resources, I think.
Regards,
Antony.
