EPEL maintainers? I note messages in the log about updated version 0.99.1 of CLAMAV being available since Mar 5th. for CentOS 6 no update is available yet. I used to use rpmforge for this package but that languished for months before updates became available and eventually stopped altogether. Is there something I can do to assist in getting this package updated? I have no idea if this is a difficult package to compile with lots of dependancies or some otherwise complexities. In this era of constant SPAM and so many virus / trojan attempts to do harm to others, it is vital that we run this package to protect our users. Please let me know if / how I can assist. Kind regards Rob
Hi,
Does clamav detect anything in this floding e-mail viruses ? My clamav instalation (with amavisd-new) in centos 5 with the current signatures detect nothing in compare to virustotal.org antivirus - i noticed that clamav signatures are lag behind form the top antivir in the market.
Viruses in ZIP archives goes via my e-mail gateway (amavisd-new+clamavd) and are stopped finally by F-Secure Client Security. So, clamav is defend from anything ?
Sorry for off topic.
That is pretty much my experience too - I've only seen the occasional FP hit from ClamAV on a mail server for as long as I can remember.
The latest flavour of the month seems to be .js ransomware which go undetected. I have long blocked all executable file types in amavisd as a matter of policy.
IMHO the AV vendors lost the battle a long time ago - they simply can't compete with the bad guys nor keep up with the volume and this particular layer of defence is now less effective/ineffective.
