Hello,

Does exist a virus list, where I can see, which viruses are already in the virus signature database of ClamWin (ClamAV)?
I think, that the virus statistics site isn't the same.

Thx!

You can create such a list yourself using sigtool (which should be in C:\Program Files\ClamWin\bin)

Use the following command lines :

Quote:

sigtool --list-sigs="C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\.clamwin\db\main.cvd"
sigtool --list-sigs="C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\.clamwin\db\daily.cvd"

If you have a Daily.inc folder in stead of daily.cvd, you'll need to generate a list for all files in that folder, or retrieve daily.cvd manually from https://www.clamav.net www.clamav.net.

Do keep in mind that virus names differ among different AV suppliers.

Thx. The only problem was to get the output into a txt file. I tried it with a batch command, but it didn't really work.

Maybe it could be a good feature for a future version of ClamWin. ClamWin could read out the definition files and list it in a dialog window, which you can call up from the main window.

Only an idea....
