One or two other AV�s were able to recognize at least NetSky with a heuristic detection. That�s the reason why we named them differently. I think we don�t need to hide from any commercial AV when it comes to response time. Of course that�s only possible because users sent samples to us just in time. If you want to know how many updates were released, just take a look at http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum=clamav-virusdb hth -- Best regards, Christoph mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net is sponsored by: Speed Start Your Linux Apps Now.
