Hi,
 
I'm new to clamav. I have one simple suggestion (though maybe not that simple to implement :-)).
 
Would it be complex to add another field to the virus DB that could hold the known name of a virus ?
 
The problem is that the internal clamav naming system (as refered to in the FAQ), makes it pretty hard to know which virus we're talking about (Worm.SomeFool is a good example).
 
So, as you want to keep the chosen names for the viruses, it could be nice to have a secondary field that could help build viruses reports by adding a simple "also known as" information text. This could be available as soon as the "giants" affect a name to a new virus.
 
Is this crazy ? Too much work ?
Thanks in advance for your replies.
