I have not seen any intercepts from my desktop scanner (Symantec), but I did have a few of the sober viruses make it through undetected by either. When I tried to submit the virus sample, it was already detected. I was running Clam 0.83 at the time. As soon as I upgraded to 0.84, Clam started catching them. Even with the lag time for the upgrade, Clam still beat out Symantec. Good job guys! Fortunately, this virus was pretty easy to spot. A zip file full of .pif's is a dead giveaway!
