Hi, I occasionally submit virus samples to ClamAV through the official submission page.
Before submission I also check these viruses with VirusTotal, where at least a bunch of AV products do often detect my samples as malware. If this happens, I also add a link to the VirusTotal's analysis page regarding the sample I'm submitting in the "Enter a short description of the virus" field of the submission form. This was used to work, and soon or later I was used to be notified of the inclusion in the ClamAV database of a new detection pattern suitable for my sample. It is months, however, that I don't receive notifications anymore regarding my submissions. Also, it seems to me that recently submissions are quite ignored. In example, in September 9 I reported to ClamAV a malware which is still not recognized, while it is by 30 out of 41 AV products in VirusTotal... See: http://www.virustotal.com/analisis/716704eb975160cf84c110e6510bb45ce9837a774 dcdee6136867b4c03f4981e-1252908923 . Anybody could explain what's going on with submissions? I can't find any reliable reference to changes in the submission policies or the like. I could only find this thread from this ML http://lurker.clamav.net/message/20081025.142726.40535408.en.html in which basically Bräckelmann is trying to figure out the same I am. But no reply to his question... Thank you, Giampaolo _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://www.clamav.net/support/ml
