My users sometimes forward me news stories on new viruses. I want to reassure them that Clam is catching this virus, but I'm not quite sure how.
Example: a user sent me a story on a virus that I'm pretty sure is Trojan.Downloader-647, but I couldn't find a web-page describing this virus. Is there such a thing? Basically, I'm looking for a short Symantec-like writeup (or even a link to Symantec's writeup) saying things like: This virus was first detected 18 Jan 2006. The subject lines for this virus are: "A killer at 11, he's free at 21...", "U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has kicked...", "230 dead as storm batters Europe", "Naked teens attack home director", etc. The virus contains an attachment called "Full Story.exe" That sort of thing. It would also be nice to type in a virus subject and see all Clam signatures/viruses matching that subject (I realize some viruses have random subjects, but many/most do have a finite list of subjects or at least adhere to a pattern). Any thoughts? -- We're just a Bunch Of Regular Guys, a collective group that's trying to understand and assimilate technology. We feel that resistance to new ideas and technology is unwise and ultimately futile. _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
