Folks Today, 27th January 2009, ClamAV’s signature team investigated and identified Trojan.Agent-70954, the 500,000th entry in its database. Well done to all the team for working so hard to produce a quality database.
From time to time we are asked to keep the size of the database down by trimming old signatures; but, as the statistics-gathering program has shown, old viruses never die. SomeFool (a.k.a Netsky) is still alive and kicking 5 years after the ClamAV team spotted the first variants! Today two variants of that virus are in the top 10 most active malware amongst our users that send us statistics. -Nigel -- Nigel Horne, [email protected] Director of Product Management (ClamAV), Sourcefire, http://www.sourcefire.com +1 301 518 7944 or +1 706 705 4022 FAX: +44 870 705 9334 ICQ: 20252325 ClamAV is a registered trademark of Sourcefire _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://www.clamav.net/support/ml
