Our donate page now features a PayPal button. Keeping the virus database up to date is a time consuming task: we need to process a lot of malware every day and generate new signatures for it. The ClamAV team provides you with timely updates and continuosly implement new features to make your favourite antivirus (and its derivative products) more effective.

The first release candidate of the long awaited
ClamAV 0.90 is ready for general testing!
The 0.9x series introduces lots of improvements in terms of detection rate and performance, like support for many new packers and decryptors, RAR3 and SIS archives, and a new phishing signatures format that proves to be very effective.
The email decoding has been improved to reduce both the memory requirements and the time taken to process attachments. We have been working hard also on the ClamAV Virus Database: we now have more than 73.000 signatures and we keep on reviewing hundreds of samples everyday.
To cope with the increasing size of the database and with the high frequency of new CVD releases, freshclam now supports scripted updates: only the differences between two releases of the CVD are downloaded. This dramatically reduces traffic on our mirrors and will allow us to release even more updates in the future.
Download the latest release candidate and test the new experimental code (use ./configure—enable-experimental at compile time). We need your feedback!

In the hope to get more detailed bug reports and coordinate the work of people testing our experimental code, we decided to open a bug tracker.
After checking many different bug tracker, we decided to stick to the well known Bugzilla.
Please use it wisely: http://bugs.clamav.net
