latest experimental stuff are not usable right now,
javascript parser doesn't compile
detect-pua (possible unwanted applications) has no use right
now because there are no signature at this time

you can find recent snapshot of development releases here:
https://oss.netfarm.it/clamav/ https://oss.netfarm.it/clamav/

they are clamav cmd line port without clamwin, perhaps using them in place of stables
should work fine (but not suggested), pls remember that doing this
you will not be able to use clamwin incremental udate for the next release

Thanks for the info.

The PUA does seem to be working. Another poster here got upset in a thread because Jotti's Linux Clam version spotted a PUA in a file he uploaded which his copy of ClamWin didn't. I looked into it and set the PUA option in my ClamWin (--detect-pua). It kicked in yesterday in an anti-rootkit I scanned. Interestingly, Clam and four other small AVs on Jotti recognized it, but none of the big AVs there. So Jotti is using it, but VirusTotal isn't using it yet.
