[clamav-users] Can't detect deceptive URL's as infected !!

[Al Varnell]

Frankly, I'm surprised that ClamAV finds any such URL's. They are way to dynamic (blacklisted one day and removed the next). ClamAV does malware detection over the long haul and trying to keep up with fraudulent web sites would be a full time job and better done by other means (e.g. Google Safe Browsing).

And the URL's i am talking about, are so deceptive that even Google chrome browser don't let us open these URL's and show us clear warning as "Dangerous" about deceptive website.
