Hi,
Can anyone tell me why the virus names within ClamAV are different from ones
from other virus vendors?
For example, W32.Netsky.B (as called by Sophos, McAfee etc.) is detected and
named Worm.Somefool by ClamAV.
There is no organized naming
Would you rather have a prompt and timely detection of new viruses or wait
for a committee to decide a common name?
Your call.
Cheers,
Phil

Thats obvious, but if you read my original email, you will notice I wasn't
complaining about it - just asking.
