[clamav-users] FYI clamdmon not working - due to change in Eicar name

[Mark Moshe Kaye]

Hi all,

I use the clamdmon utility for monitoring the health of my clamd daemon.

Since receiving the new main, daily, and bytecode this evening my 
clamdmon is no longer working.

I found the source code for clamdmon which shows the issue. The code is 
looking for a "Eicar-Test-Signature" string which is now 
"Win.Test.EICAR_NDB-1". As soon as I hacked the clamdmon code and 
recompiled it works as it did previously.

so:
1) FYI in case you use clamdmon as i do!
2) Can I rely that Win.Test.EICAR_NDB-1 is the new name going forward or 
is this likely to change back to Eicar-Test-Signature?

Thank you,
~Moshe
