Why is Sourcefire allowing a third-party to use their brandname (and

supports other AV vendor products, but not the product it gets its name
from?!?!?!? Huh!?!??
ClamAV and Immunet are in a partnership.

Thanks - but it says
"Immunet placed ClamAV into their Cloud infrastructure alongside their
Ethos detection engine, and several other detection technologies"
That implied to me they were using ClamAV's engine - which contradicts
what was said earlier. Does Immunet's ClamAV for Windows actually use
ClamAV's engine? i.e. what did Immunet get out of this other than a name?
Did you read the FAQ? http://www.clamav.net/lang/en/support/faq/faq-win32/
Personally I'd be more worried about what Immunet is learning about me and my
system than anything else. As for what they get, well, they get to crawl your
files. If you're already comfortable with Google or MSFT or Yahoo crawling
through all your email and attachments then this is probably no big deal.
