Title: Virus blocking tutorial - updated for 7.x?
Post by: Brenno on March 23, 2009, 04:00:22 PM: Does anyone have an updated version of the virus blocking tutorial found at:

http://wiki.contribs.org/Virus_blocking_tutorial (http://wiki.contribs.org/Virus_blocking_tutorial)

I would like to add a few new definitions to the list, but I'm not certain how to do this in light of the differences between 6.x and 7.x.

Thx!

A quick rearrangement of the Howto text has been done and posted here:
http://wiki.contribs.org/Virus_blocking_tutorial

It does need review particularly to update/correct the information regarding the pattern matching database contents that are in sme7.x.

For now you can just add any new database patterns in a suitable title towards the end of the article eg
New database patterns

That info can be incorporated into the main article later when it gets fully rehashed.

Thank you again!

Did you use the patterns for wmv and mpg as per the Howto, or did you use/create something else ?

Post by: Brenno on April 20, 2009, 02:36:31 PM: I used the patterns from the Howto. The tricky one was the .mpg, as it seemed to be a little hit-and-miss, but the .wmv worked great.
