CLAM has had a bad SECURITY RECORD in this last 1 year period than any other AV. availability of virus defination of all KNOWN viruses is NOT just the only criteria that would rate a AV top of the list. Some AV would detect 100% ZOO viruses but fail on WILD viruses. I havent done much searching on popularity of those SAMPLE viruses myself but detection rate of those VIRUS could vary with respect to geographical distribution and popularity of the outbreak wrt to the virus samples. nothing much to say..... but poor analysis......... move on. -bipin --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ FOSS Nepal mailing list [email protected] http://groups.google.com/group/foss-nepal Community website: http://www.fossnepal.org/ -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
