This is not an isolated case. The virus submission page must be changed to run the latest RELEASED version of clamav.
Seconded. I run an up-to-date release version of ClamAV (0.75), there are virusses getting trough, but I can't submit them because 0.80rc3 would have recognised them. And we know clamav 0.75 would be able to detect these given specific examples.
Your clairvoyance astounds me.
You are free to add your own signatures to spot your samples. They almost certainly wouldn't catch any other samples of the same virus though.
Same virus, or same exploit? We're asking for protection against viruses, not against exploits (we'd happily upgrade to 0.80rc3 for that). Or are you saying this virus is polymorphic? I asked that in my original email that started this thread, and got no response.
Sounds like the webpage needs to be improved in the way another poster suggested: have it tell you which versins of clamav can catch the file. And developers should review the submissions for the current stable release just in case its possible to create a specific signature.
