I got the credits for another ClamAV Virus Submission
Like I said, I’ve been submitting virus samples to clamav.net over the last week or so. Well, the samples that I submitted have been classified, and I got the credits on one of them: Worm.Mytob.IG. I’m a little bit annoyed that I submitted the samples days ago, and have only gotten a response today, when I got nearly 10 copies of this virus. Thankfully, kaspersky had already been classifying this, so it means that spread probably isn’t rampant, and most Windows desktop scanners have probably found any copies that people have gotten via e-mail.
ClamAV likes to boast about its response times, and I’ve seen times when its very good, but the last few days have been troubling. I wonder how many corporate mail servers use clamav as the scanner, and have been letting through these virus mails, infecting corporate intranets and letting the virus spread…
