Clam Antivirus is een antivirusprogramma voor Linux en Freebsd dat zich voornamelijk richt op de integratie met mailservers voor het scannen van berichten en bijlagen. Naast een antivirusdaemon bestaat Clamav uit een commandline-scanner en een tool voor het automatisch bijwerken van de virusdefinities via internet. De ontwikkelaars hebben versie 0.94 uitgebracht met de volgende aankondiging:
Dear ClamAV users,
Sourcefire and the ClamAV team are pleased to announce the release of ClamAV 0.94. The following are the key features and improvements of this version:For more details, please refer to WhatsNew and to the ChangeLog.
- Logical Signatures: The logical signature technology uses operators such as AND, OR and NOT to allow the combination of more than one signature into one entry in the signature database resulting in more detailed and flexible pattern matching.
- Anti-phishing Technology: Users can now change the priority and reporting of ClamAV's heuristic anti-phishing scanner within the detection engine process. They can choose whether, when scanning a supicious file, ClamAV should stop scanning and report the phish, or continue to scan in case the file contains other malware (clamd: HeuristicScanPrecedence, clamscan: --heuristic-scan-precedence)
- Disassembly Engine: The initial version of the disassembly engine improves ClamAV's detection abilities.
- PUA Detection: Users can now decide which PUA signatures should be loaded (clamd: ExcludePUA, IncludePUA; clamscan: --exclude-pua, --include-pua)
- Data Loss Prevention (DLP): This version includes a new module that, when enabled, scans data for the inclusion of US formated Social Security Numbers and credit card numbers (clamd: StructuredDataDetection, clamscan: --detect-structured; additional fine-tuning options are available)
- IPv6 Support: Freshclam now supports IPv6
- Improved Scanning of Scripts: The normalization of scripts now covers JavaScript
- Improved QA and Unit Testing: The improved QA process now includes API testing and new library of test files in various formats that are tested on a wide variety of systems (try running 'make check' in the source directory)
You may need to run 'ldconfig' after installing this version.
** This version drops the special support for Cygwin. Our QA process showed serious problems with ClamAV builds under Cygwin due to some low-level incompatibilities in the POSIX compatibility layer, resulting in unreliable ClamAV behaviour.
