Hello!

Each vendor of anti-virus software has a different naming convention and the same virus could have a completely different name in another company's product.

To provide a candle in the dark and diminish the current confusion, we created a cross-reference list of all virus names, based on the WildList 06/2005.  

You can find the Excel sheet here (106 KB ZIP):

The WildList 06/2005 can be found here:
<http://www.wildlist.org/WildList/200506.htm>

A couple of products haven't found all viruses and worms. In this case, you'll see a "-" for a non-detected sample. For example, ClamAV missed 92 out of the 679 tested malware files (that's only an 86% WildList detection rate).

cheers,
Andreas Marx
