Speculation isn't much help to anyone, I copied a result of 'Day0 Summary' from shadowserver.org ... and unqualified statistics are worthless. To answer the question in your subject line (which doesn't seem to be the real thrust of your messages) I have no particular preference for anti-virus on Linux since I do not routinely scan Linux machines for malicious software. Yesterday I scanned one because I discovered that the system logging daemon was not running but it turned out that I was to blame for the problem. As far as I can remember that was the first time in several years that I have scanned a Linux machine. It is not, in my opinion, worth the effort. The main that reason I use ClamAV is to gain access to the third-party spam and phishing databases, to clean mail. After processing our mail with filters other than ClamAV, the spam and phishing messages vastly outnumber those (if any) which contain malicious software. In October last year I put some statistics here on the ClamAV list: http://marc.info/?l=clamav-usersm=141245133506824w=2 A second reason is that I have customers and suppliers who do insist on using Windows machines. When one of them sends mail with a virus in it, I prefer that we will not copy it to the others. The fact that there may be a virus in mail which is to be read by my staff is not of itself a great concern, since it will be a Windows virus and our Linux boxes will be immune to it. I've been using Linux for around twenty years. Of the hundreds of Linux machines which I have worked with in that time, I have never had contact with an infected one - although I'm told that they do exist. If you find any useful statistics on Linux viruses, do share them. -- 73, Ged. ___ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: https://github.com/vrtadmin/clamav-faq http://www.clamav.net/contact.html#ml

One needs to keep this in mind when doing comparisons with other software packages and when comparing ClamAV in usages other than mail gateway scanning else you may be comparing apples and ducks. Statistics without test methods are useless. Statistics that don't reveal false positives are dodgy. Statistics that don't indicate signature vs heuristics matching are not particularly helpful. I'm never impressed with products that detect viruses at the desktop level anyway because it means the firewall has failed. I like that ClamAV also finds spam and other non-malware content in real time at the mail gateway.
