Craig Daters Wow, that was some time ago, and TrendNet is only just now putting out an update! That's scarry!
Thanks Trog
What concerns me (if it is true that ClamAV has detected this specific variant since November) is that ClamAV is not performing due diligence and sharing samples to protect users of other products on the Internet.
AV teams working together is a good thing, and I personally share all of
my samples with over 20+ AV vendors.
I know there are lots of people that keep sharing samples. ClamAV is blocking them from our mail server every day.
And AV teams do NOT necessarily share their samples all the time. Otherwise they lose their competitive edge over one another (and you wouldn't find disparate names and number of detected viruses among different vendors).
Last, if they want to get to Clam's signatures, it's open source...I'm sure they can (and probably do) get updates of Clam's database. It's not the ClamAV team's responsibility to help boost some other company's profit margin.
