Hi All,
I would like to install ClamAV for Windows Desktop Operating System. I know
that ClamAV Official Database (.cvd files) contains all kinds of malware in
terms of platform specific (Linux,UNIX,Unix Like) in single
file(s)(daily.cvd ,main.cvd) and i heard that unix malware can't effect
windows machine or vice versa. so i would like to separate the windows
malware signatures from ClamAV Official database and add them in custom
virus database to optimize the virus database size and to improve windows
malware detetcion faster.
if my thouhgts and understanding is wrong, please correct me
Any help and suggestions would be appreciated on this
You are wrong to want to do this.
Consider the following scenario:
=========================================================================
A file, which is infected with a Y-system-specific virus, arrives on
your machine, and passes all the checks because you have removed its
fingerprints from the scanner.
You then copy that file onto a USB stick and give it to a friend who
runs a Y-system, and they put it in their machine...
Shortly after this, their bank-account is drained, their identity is
stolen, and it is your fault.
=========================================================================
We scan files for any and all sorts of virii, because we don't know
where the files may end up.
Cheers.
