There many fake emails being sent that pretend to contain Coronavirus information in an attached that is usually a Microsoft Office file, but it can be another file type.

Below is an HDB signature for one of the most common emails that Clam AV does not detect. Copy the HDB signature to a Notepad file and save it in the ClamWin db program data folder, or add the signature to an existing HDB file if you already have it there. Do not save the file with a .txt or .text extension on the end of the name. Save the file as Sigfile.hdb. Select file type All Files to prevent the .txt or .text at the end of the filename. ClamWin is unable to recognize a text file as a signature. After saving the file, scan something with ClamWin to make sure the signature works--delete the signature file if it does not.

As always - thank you, Bob. I've added it to my sigfile.

Thanks Lipper--good to hear from you. Trend Micro has done the most work in spotting malware piggybacking on the Corona Virus, but their samples are proprietary right now.

Stay Safe!
