Release : 3.el5

Summary : Anti-virus software
Description :
Clam AntiVirus is a GPL anti-virus toolkit for UNIX. The main purpose of
this software is the integration with mail servers (attachment scanning).
The package provides a flexible and scalable multi-threaded daemon, a
command line scanner, and a tool for automatic updating via Internet.
The programs are based on a shared library distributed with the Clam
AntiVirus package, which you can use with your own software. Most
importantly, the virus database is kept up to date

Update Information:
ClamAV 0.99 contains major new features and changes. YARA rules, Perl Compatible
Regular Expressions, revamped on-access scanning for Linux, and other new
features join the many great features of ClamAV: - Processing of YARA rules
(some limitations - see signatures.pdf). - Support in ClamAV logical signatures
for many of the features added for YARA, such as Perl Compatible Regular
Expressions, alternate strings, and YARA string attributes. See signatures.pdf
for full details. - New and improved on-access scanning for Linux. See the
recent blog post and clamdoc.pdf for details on the new on-access capabilities.
- A new ClamAV API callback function that is invoked when a virus is found. This
is intended primarily for applications running in all-match mode. Any
applications using all-match mode must use the new callback function to record
and report detected viruses. - Configurable default password list to attempt
zip file decryption. - TIFF file support. - A new signature target type for
designating signatures to run against files with unknown file types. - Improved
fidelity of the "data loss prevention" heuristic algorithm. Code supplied by
Bill Parker. - Support for LZMA decompression within Adobe Flash files. -
Support for MSO attachments within Microsoft Office 2003 XML files. - A new
sigtool option(--ascii-normalize) allowing signature authors to more easily
generate normalized versions of ascii files. Please note: If you are using
clamd on-access scanning or have applications using all-match mode, you will
want to review the changes and make any necessary adjustments before using
ClamAV 0.99.
