 Dangerous? When I review the quaratine anyway.

 No more than sanesecurity rules and alot more than my
 winnow_malware.hdb which would have caught your virus.

 Point being you might just want to consider what you have
 running...

Come'on Tom. Winnow might very well cought that, but I got it caught with F-Prot and BitDefender too.

The trojan itself is not my problem. My problem was that ClamAV did not get it, and did not allow me to report it in their website.

I give rat's ass to WinNow. If I would have been interested in SaneSecurity or WinNow I would have installed those again, and tested with them.

The ClamAV website reporting is not about WinNow, it is about ClamAV vanilla. Am I wrong?

Nope. Just there have been numerous posts here from sourcefire and clamav folks explaining that they have a backlog in creating rules so you should not be surprised that stock signatures might miss malware which is why some of the addon signature files came into existence.

I am a tad confused about your reporting comment as the clamav web reporting mechanism works fine at least for me and you can also report via virustotal as well.

Anyway glad your happy with your config.

Tom

btw its winnow as in to remove the wheat from the chaff and has nothing to to with Microsoft or Windows per se.
