Hi ClamAV Developers, Users SaneSecurtiy and SecruiteInfo provides better virus signature database feeds. with help of this, we can Increase the ClamAV Engine Detection Rate up to 80%-90%. I had already integrated ClamAV Enine with unofficial database (excluded official database) in experimental way. ClamAV Performance better than earlier now. I want to rewrite the Engine first from scratch and i am looking for some guys who willing join to work with me
when i debugged ClamAV CodeBase, i am interestingly found that ClamAV Creating 14 Engine Instances Internally. out of 14, one only Heuristic Engine ClamAV providing both Signature Baed Scanner and Heuristic Based Scanner. As per my understanding, Signature Based Scanner will never involve in false postive/false negative results. But Heuristic scanner some times gives false postive/false negative results. My Question is All AV Vendors are Including both Signature Based Scanner and Heuristic Based Scanner in their Software? for an example, Most Poplular AV Vendors like AVAST, KASPER SKY,AVG,NORTON,SYMANTEC do the same thing? I had researched on virus scanning tecniques with the help of google engine..i come to know that heuristic scanning techniques provides better results than traditional signature based scanning.. then why ClamAV not created Scanner with Heuristic Scanning Technique Alone? or my thought is wrong ah ?
