[clamav-users] New ClamnAV database....test results for Clamwin

[Groach]

For your info:

I run Clamwin, with the additional Clamd, and supplemented with Sane
security definitions.

I was VERY apprehensive about today and the pessamist inside (for good
reason!) was expecting a range of problems.

However, I just performed a forced DB update download, and an EICAR test
(through my MTA) and an email with a kown virus (that I know SANE
(only!) used to catch.

Results: ALL OK!!!!

Update: without problems
Eicar: new report: "Win-test-eicar-ndb-1" found
Sane: yep, that was detected too.

So my feedback is ....GOOD for Clamwin users.

No problem. See, I can do praise too. :-)

I even did a scan of my usual drive that is susceptible to showing false
positives and it all completed without unwanted reports.

A relief, a surprise, and a happy chap (for today) ;-)

So, @clamwin users: no problems, go for it. And those non-clamwin
users that have problems., try CLAMWIN!! :-D

I'm on linux, wheezy TBE, freshclam finally did get it about half an hour
after I posted about 4:20 am. No problems so far, so I believe the
re-organization was likely worth it.
