So you want to know if the ClamAV Team monitors an infected system to
get hands on the files in case the malware is updated by the maintainer
- right?
If this is the question, the answer is: No, we don´t.
That's not the question. The question as asked by management is "Why
does ClamAV report it doesn't catch this virus while these others do?"
and my answer is "I don't know - and the ClamAV people don't know, either".
While it's the truth, neither of us looks real good now, and I haven't
even mentioned that nobody at ClamAV seems particularly proactive about
looking into it. That will remain our little secret for now.
