And Clamav* may NEVER be the only virusscanning software you depend on

So if the large >10MB file is infected let the desktop/fileserver/... scanning 
tool detect that one.


* insert any other virus scanning program.

[Clamav-users] freshclam update and the minute of the hour

2004-09-10 Thread Maurice Lucas
Hello,
Would it be possible to post on the website of clamav a subpage with a 
graphic representation of the folowing data.

time  amount of freshclamupdates
0  *
1  ***
2  *
3  *
4
5  
..
59*
So everybody could check to see which times on the hour (for all the 
cron-users) would be "nice" to run freshclam on.
In this example 4 minutes past the hour is a nice time.

I'm updating on 22 past the hour but maybe there are a lot of people 
updating at random on this time.

I would love to donate 1 to 2 GB bandwidth/month on a 10mbit connection. 
Thats all I could donate.
So if there is in the future a new way to donate a fixed amount of bandwidth 
.

With kind regards and keep up the good work,
Met vriendelijke groet,

A search on this page for Phishing.Bank gives back 5 results but

I don't "trust" a spam signature as much as a virus signature. My clamav
is direct on SMTP level and returns a 5xx error if you send me a virus.
If I load the unofficial signatures then they will also give my mail
messages a 5xx error.

I would like to see more like a spamassassin plugin kind of a sollution.
So ClamAV is still the AV as it is on the moment and gives away enough
reason to issue a 5xx error on every email if it contains a virus.

Spamassassin is called and asks ClamSA (a clam spamassassin plugin)
loaded with the unofficial signatures if a given message could be a
(phishing) spam message. And receive 3 or 4 out of the 5 points.

This way we are safe for FP from the unofficial signatures and we get
less spam in our inbox.

I had freshclam working from cron and after switching to the daemon mode
some while back it did hang on 1 server.

Freshclam daemon was up but wasn't downloading new db's. A kill and
restart of freshclam daemon did the job and I have never experienced it
again.
The reason is unknown for now.

If you don't have the time, knowledge, or whatever. Don't be a sysadmin.

Being a sysadmin for a PRODUCTION server is a real job.
I hire someone to fix my car and repair my roof. Why because I could try and 
fix something but I know I can't complain if I break something.

http://www.clamav.net/lang/en/2009/10/05/eol-clamav-094/


All ClamAV releases older than 0.95 are affected by a bug in freshclam which 
prevents incremental updates from working with signatures longer than 980 
bytes. 
You can find more details on this issue on our bugzilla (see bug #1395)

This bug affects our ability to distribute complex signatures (e.g. logical 
signatures) with incremental updates.

So far we haven’t released any signatures which exceed this limit.
Before we do we want as many users as possible to upgrade to the latest version 
of ClamAV. 

Starting from 15 April 2010 our CVD will contain a special signature which 
disables all clamd installations older than 0.95 – that is to say older than 1 
year.

This move is needed to push more people to upgrade to 0.95 . 
We would like to keep on supporting all old versions of our engine, but 
unfortunately this is no longer possible without causing a disservice to people 
running a recent release of ClamAV.
The traffic generated by a full CVD download, as opposed to an incremental 
update, cannot be sustained by our mirrors.

We plan to start releasing signatures which exceed the 980 bytes limit on May 
2010.

We recommend that you always run the latest version of ClamAV to get optimal 
protection, reliability and performance.

Thanks for your cooperation!

If it aint broke - don't fix it
People it is broken because YOU didn't want to fix it.
There was a message (not everybody saw the message but it was there and every 
deb, rpm, god knows which format developer/owner/maker who case about his 
product had 6 months to FIX it so the system wasn't going to break.

If you 
- compiled by hand: it's your problem
- installed a deb/rpm and your distro isn't updating because you didn't want to 
upgrade it: your problem
  Who are you going to beat if your system is hacked? Debian/ubuntu/RedHat 
- installed a deb/rpm and your distro isn't updating because your distro is 
EOL: it's your problem
  Who are you going to beat if your system is hacked? Debian/ubuntu/RedHat 

If your lock of the front door is very easy to break open do you want to change 
locks?


People please forget stupid child plays like my uptime is bigger than your 
uptime.

The system broke, because of a good reason(more/beter signatures) so update.
If you don't want to update your complete server buy a very small new one 
($400) and install only clamav on it or install it with vmware/kvm/xen/

Please show us some evidence that clamav made you install there free product on 
your server. 
Why didn't you install "some other product"? 
Is it your server? Then you have the power to install every product you want 
onto the machine but YOU choose Clamav and they didn't ordered/payed/beat you 
to dead if you didn't install there product.

Check

for a list with executable content and make a filter using these.
No FP for the last few years using these ;)
