[clamav-users] ClamAV® blog: CRDF Joins the ClamAV Signature Partner Program!

[Joel Esler (jesler)]

You're right.   Nothing I said was negative.  We know exactly what happens when our testing is done. We don't know in other cases.  I didn't say anything about the quality of 3rd party signatures.   In fact, the quality is so good, that's exactly why we are rolling out the program to protect more people.

Protecting customers is a good thing.  We're always going to try and do that.

Hello,

We are putting out more detection for the user.
We are making it easier for the vast majority of our users to use ClamAV and
provide more detection with the built in system.

And that's a good way for everyone. I approve. We are all here to fight malwares, right ?

There are lots of places
out there that make detection other than us, but not distributed in an
large fashion, regression tested, etc.

How do you know ? Do you think SaneSecurity or Securiteinfo.com<http://Securiteinfo.com> does not verify their signatures before
publishing ? Do you know our technical infrastructure ?
SaneSecurity and SecuriteInfo.com<http://SecuriteInfo.com> are NOT poor-low quality-sub signatures. We provide FAST RESPONSE to
0-day malware threads and our detection ratio is actually FAR BETTER than Clamav+CRDF.
We will publish some public stats in a few weeks to proove the above.

That's true we have less users. But we could be surprise how many computers we protect in the word. And
as you say, we have 95% room for improvement, marketing stats of course.

SaneSecurity and SecuriteInfo.com<http://SecuriteInfo.com> signatures are compatible with freshclam.conf, this facilitates
integration with official Clamav. And the final user have the choice to include them or not.

Not everyone uses ClamAV on the command line to scan mail.  Not everyone
uses it on *nix.  Our user base is gigantic, and spreads over nearly every
platform we've ever seen.

Our signatures are good for other platforms too.
