Hi all,

Does clamscan report 'Found' on a virus which other scanners do not detect?

What I mean to ask is, is clam fully reliable?

I scanned a windows fat32 partition yesterday and one 'found' was reported.

I went on to the web to find what 'w32.cih.1003' is. Its a trojan. At this point I scan the file with f-prot. Nothing found.

I then download avg - the free windows virus scanner. install it and get the latest definitions. I scan in windows using avg. Nothing found.

This is not the first time this has happened. I scanned a friends hard drive with windowsxp on it, and clamscan found 'lion' coincidentally within the same file that a virus was found on my winxp system - pagefile.sys.

Thats why I am now thinking clamscan may not be working properly. I am using clam 0.83 on slackware 10.

Any ideas!!!!!!!!

Cheers

David
