Zerohour does not catch viruses based on signatures. It is a virus signature 
that defines it’s name. Signature-less protection is an essential complement to 
traditional AV technologies. By proactively scanning the Internet and 
identifying massive virus outbreaks as soon as they emerge, Commtouch's 
Zero-Hour provides proactive virus blocking that is effective and 
signature-independent. http://www.commtouch.com/GUI/images/general/blank.gif

In each instance ZEROHOUR reported a virus but did not know what it was, one of 
my other scanners DID know what it was and reported it so.

I sure hope Declude will change this behaviour and report the known virus name 
when one of the scanners DOES report a name.

I'm right now using Declude 4.3.64, I'll start using 4.4.0 later this week.

It could be ZEROHOUR as it identifies viruses based on attributes other than 
virus signatures thereby providing zerohour protection, in many cases the virus 
has no name as it has not been identified yet.

If I remember correctly, it is not the ZEROHOUR spam test catching a virus. It 
is the internal AVG virus scanner saying it has caught an unknown virus, or 
what it thinks is a virus.

Hi,

 

Suddenly ZEROHOUR starts catching virusses but it does not know WHAT it caught.

I seems one of my other scanners thinks it's a virus as well, and... it reports 
a name.

 

1) I've seen a ZEROHOUR virus just once before, is this a new feature?

 

2) Does ZEROHOUR ever know the name of the virus?

 

3) Could we have a new feature where Declude uses the "real" name of a virus 
when multiple scanners report a virus and some don't know the name?
