[clamav-users] Is there any documentation on what signatures mean?

[Nikita Yerenkov-Scott]

Basically in terms of the signatures people provide, even though you
can get the information of what they thought was malicious from the
sigtool, it would be really nice if there was at least an option for
people to also provide descriptions of *why* they thought it was
malicious. So that it is easier to tell if it's actually so and also
to deal with all the damage in case in is unclear all that it did. If
an option like this was provided then it would be really great if
users were encouraged to do so. It is so with all other AVs. It's
really unhelpful for Clam to give such little information on "malware"
it finds. It might not even be actually a malicious file.
