[Clamav-devel] ClamAV vs. Wildlist

2008-01-14 Thread Matt Forbis
Hello all, I am curious as to whether there has been any recent comparison of 
ClamAV's virus detection against the wildlist (www.wildlist.org).  Granted, the 
latest wildlist is from October 2007, but it would be interesting to see the 
results as several vendors use their wildlist detection as a marketing tool (or 
at least used to).  Also, I was wondering if there was any solid method of 
actually doing a comparison on my own, as the wildlist provides only virus 
names, which do not match the naming convention used by ClamAV.  Any thoughts 
or ideas would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!
