I have successfully installed CLAMAV into my machine into Linux and updated its virus database. For checking it's efficiency I mounted my windows drive and performed scanning on it using clamscan. Surprisingly, I got a virus warning into notepad.exe it was showing infected by W32.Ladmar.A. However, I am already having Norton Corporate Edition with latest updation installed into my windows. So, I went to windows and checked notepad.exe for virus using norton. Norton had not shown any virus, but CLAMAV is showing into linux. I had also checked virus on notepad.exe extracted from the Windows .cab file from the CD provided by the Microsoft. Still CLAMAV is showing virus warning.
On the URL http://clamav.ozforces.com/database/viruses.db2 virus signature for W32.Ladmar.A is present into notepad.exe. So, whether the virus present into notepad.exe or CLAMAV's virus database contains wrong signature. Thanks, Chirag Gandhi __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
