I think the problem is simple math: Finite number of devs with finite time. They have to use it in what they think will be more productive for the majority of us. The problem is that if you add another category to what it is supposed to block, they will spend more time making sigs than they are spending now. Which means that they will spend less time coding new and better features. I can also say that they don't want to compete against commercial AV vendors as I have read here 2^32 times that we should use not _only_ clamav, but a list of AVs to improve the chances to catch malware. Just a thought, -Samuel _______________________________________________ http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
