I have to agree I find ClamAV is not catching many virus recently (over
the last few years). Great for catch old ones, but any thing new is not
being caught.
I know this since on the Windows desktops we run Trend and it catches a
lot of e-mail attachments which look bad.
Problem we run Solaris e-mail servers so not much choice of software
available to us. I should tighten up on our extension blocking.

We haven't seen an increase in virii detected by McAfee or Symantec
on servers downstream from our CanIt system. Maybe that's because
blocking the unsafe extensions kills them before we even call ClamAV.
I've attached the statistics for the last 60 days on our systems. The brown
bars are messages blocked because of bad filename extensions. The red ones
are ones detected as viruses by ClamAV. As you see, the red bars are
two orders of magnitude smaller than the brown one.
Or are there fewer infections being sent by mail, rather focusing
more on phishing emails?
We see waves. The last 30 days were quieter than the 30 days before
that, but it waxes and wanes as new botnets come online and old ones
go away.

David.
