Just about all client-side binary spyware (that is, not the "browser cookie" type) exhibit behavioral patterns that are identical to viruses and/or trojans and are created by the same type of scum who create viruses and subsequently release them into the wild. My question is: Does ClamAV detect spyware? I don't care if it can remove spyware as long as it can be detected. If spyware can't be detected, what will it take to get ClamAV to just detect the existence of the major spyware vendors on a given system? If ClamAV has no plans to support spyware detection, I would appreciate a pointer to a _reputable_ spyware detection application with a good set of __command-line options__. -- Thomas Hruska CubicleSoft Webmaster _______________________________________________ http://lists.clamav.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/clamav-win32
