I've noticed that there are many databases available on the Web dealing with security. For instance, Castle Cops has several--dealing with bad active X objects, CLSIDs, service providers, protocol hijackers, bad dlls, and several others. Figuring out a way to use some of these resources in ClamWin could increase its functionality and provide it with some of the capabilities of a security "suite," thereby increasing the number of users.

Well, you are certainly right--you have to maintain your focus. I'm pretty sure you guys will come up with something, however, and since I'm not a programmer, I'm focusing on the future.

I hope clamwin 1.0 will not be considered as "vaporware", right now we have a working code and a gui, but currently we don't have much effort to speed up development Sad

I've seen the Wiki--it's coming along. Let the users know if there's anything we can do to help. For instance, a special donation to hire someone to do development full-time. If you need some special code to do something, you might ask if any open source guys out there already have something you could use.

For some ideas, here's an opinion from a guy at Authentium: https://blogs.authentium.com/virusblog/?p=38.
