This can not happened with Securiteinfo.com sigs. We remove signatures when Clamav official detect malwares, based on hundred of samples. That's the only way to keep the number of signatures the lowest possible. If 3rd party providers don't do that, they are condemned to have more and more signatures everyday, until it breaks low memory systems. -- Best regards, Arnaud Jacques SecuriteInfo.com Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/pages/SecuriteInfocom/132872523492286 Twitter : @SecuriteInfoCom _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: https://github.com/vrtadmin/clamav-faq http://www.clamav.net/contact.html#ml
