how?

I run a special Bash-scripted CRON job to pull the 'daily.cvd' files
from a local ClamAV mirror, and don't have much trouble, although I
have to make sure the action is retried a couple of times, in case
the mirror is being updated while the script is being run.

The blog post concerning OpenSSL being required for ClamAV only has
one reason as to why it might *benefit* ClamAV, the other reasons are
why OpenSSL *itself* in good.
That single reason is:

What exactly does this
Today we got a spam email claiming to be From: clamav at our domain,
from IP address 201.80.225.194. We already get spam To: clamav.
Since we indeed have a virtual mailbox named clamav (to receive this
list), I am wondering if this is just a good guess by the spammer, or
if somehow the ClamAV
When I go to the download page for ClamAV at SourceForge,
I observe that the signature file (clamav-0.*.*.tar.gz.sig)
is downloaded less than 10% of the time that the source code
(clamav-0.*.*.tar.gz) is downloaded. I find this strange,
especially for anti-malware software, whose users presumably

According to today's SecurityFocus.com, there are as many as 500,000
different versions of malware. Most are not original code, but mass-
produced attempts to foil antivirus filters.
And here I thought that ClamAV's 186,092+ signatures was getting out
of hand!

it less likely to be a path to total compromise of the computer.

There is an article on eWeek.com today concerning instability in AV
software due to the impossibility of adequately testing updates when
releasing them as quickly as they are needed

As I understand it, ClamAV is perhaps unusual

Perhaps Postfix is now doing a better job of rejecting bad SMTP,
although the overall spam rate is still quite high.

In December 2006, we were running ClamAV 0.88.7, and there were still
a fair number of real viruses being detected in inbound email. Now
running 0.91.2 and 0.92, there seem to be only phishing attempts, and
not even very many of them. In fact it seems that our log file shows
almost as many
There is another aspect to the acquisition of ClamAV that seems not
to have been discussed. What happens to the people who made monetary
donations to the ClamAV project? (I am not in this group, as I never
quite got around to it.)
I would imagine that many people who donated to ClamAV did so in

P.S. Clamav may be slower than commercial scanners, however, my
observation has been that clamav scans the *entire* file, rather
than only part of it, as commercial scanners tend to do. (In some
cases, they couldn't even *read* the entire file that fast.) I'm

I am in the process of replacing my old Windows 98 SE (!) file server with a
