I'd also add that my own machines are effectively not at risk from viruses (I don't run any Windows boxes) so I'm not really interested in the latest engines and heuristics and suchlike. There's little risk of my staff being conned (they're fairly sensible when it comes to mail) so I need things like phishing signatures purely to cut down on the amount of cr@p getting into mailboxes. Where I'm sitting, the ratio of phishing scams and other junk eliminated by third party signatures to viruses eliminated by ClamAV is well over fifty. > So that is my way of voting for raising the priority on signature processing. > And I do not wish this to sound like a complaint because it is not - you all > are > doing a great job. +1 to that too. -- 73, Ged. _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://www.clamav.net/support/ml
