clamav additional virus repository
 

hy

in freshclam.conf i put addition links for virus database like securiteinfo, linux malware detect, i try use malware patrol but they ask to use clamav-unoffical-sigs.sh (i manage setup with it) but script requires depedancy that i dont like. (geoip etc..)

i would like to know is there some more site like secureinfo so i can add it to freshclam.conf

The problem with all "anti-virus" stuff is that, in order for it to be detected, "it's already here."

Probably the most significant thing that you can do to protect yourself from malware is to use an ad blocker. (Sorry, LQ ...)

"Internet advertisements" are far more than just pretty pictures: they're JavaScript, too, and we all have seen just how powerful JavaScript can be. The fastest way to distribute malware to hundreds of thousands of machines is to attach it to an advertisement that is rotating among several popular pages.

• Yahoo advertising-server malware attack.
• Malware in ads turns computers into zombies.
• Malicious ads spreading crypto ransomware.

... and so on.

"Anti-virus" tools create a very false sense of security, even as they promote the notion that malicious software is a biological organism and that computers are therefore inherently vulnerable to it. It's a very profitable business ... even "Clam" is selling their stuff now ... but it's unfortunately snake-oil.

i canot agree more.

i have decent firewall based on iptables. im learning that in depth. but when i download some torrent files i whant know is there something. im playng last few days with cuckoo and is very nice tool. i also try f-prot. at the moment im interest in defense so is there more tools like cuckoo who analyze files in depth. to be honest i dont care to much for viruses i dont even remember when i had one, but recently i get my hand on that part security so from any action i try get as far possible about configuring and gathering info, like now i found on arch wiki these sites securiteinfo, linux malware detect and i was just curious is there more similar sites i didnt find.

Sometimes when I have a file and im not sure I use this extension https://chrome.google.com/webstore/d...okmpjbcj?hl=es, that basically is to check in virustotal and other platforms the file.

i use firefox, now i download virus checker extension also use virustotal database. but metadefender seems maintened better. but dont matter. if there is virus i whant inspect them only need good detection.

just use the clam DB

clam normally will have definations as soon as or before norton and mcafee do

then solved
