What is Clam AntiVirus ?

Clam AntiVirus is an anti-virus scanner written from scratch. It is licensed
under GNU GPL2 and uses the virus database from OpenAntiVirus, which is an
another free anti-virus project. In contrast to the OpenAntiVirus (which is
written in Java), Clam AntiVirus is written entirely in C and POSIX compliant.

Ok great.. so any news?

Last time I checked openav only had 1700 defs tops in it's vdb which almost
near made it useless in real life. Hopefully this has this improved. I seem
to remember it had it had some sort of db definition importer. If this is
still the case can be done can we find a legal way to import/expand some
of the default definitions, if that still a limitation the only lmitations
of it

clamav is in the tree and works fine, closing old bugs.
