sorry if im understanding this wrong but it seams you are saying a new install might be infected, correct? How can I know if I installed a version thats infected? By installing an other scanner and scanning or?

This does nothing to assist new users wishing to gain initial protection though. It appears to be one of the only top AV products distributed on Cnet with the malware installer bundled in as well. Gonna make ClamAV look very bad after a user installs it and finds their system hosed with this crap. Given the nature of ClamAV, they've certainly steeped to a new low with this one. Talk about brazen! This is already a well known problem with other security tools.[2][3][4] [1] http://download.cnet.com/windows/sourcefire/3260-20_4-10091988.html [2] http://insecure.org/news/download-com-fiasco.html [3] http://seclists.org/nmap-hackers/2011/5 [4] http://seclists.org/nmap-hackers/2011/6 -- David Pierce _______________________________________________ http://lists.clamav.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/clamav-win32 _______________________________________________ http://lists.clamav.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/clamav-win32
