RE: Malware database

Any antivirus/anti-malware utility will have this type of database. The definition files that get updated is a list of "known" virus/malware, etc. Some utilities have more information than others on the known virii and malware on their sites or within the program. If your anti-"whatever" didn't find the malicious "whatever" don't waste your time trying to finding something because they probably don't have it yet unless you are not updating your definition files that often. Again, your best bet is to check out the anti company's website to get access to their database of known "whatever."

Subject: Malware database

I came across an error the other day that I suspected to be from some
form of malware, but I couldn't exactly pin it down.  I googled the
process in question, srvpool.exe, but couldn't really find any
definitive answers.  I ended up reimaging the computer just to play it
safe.  But this whole experience made me start looking for some kind
of malware/virus database that contains information about known
malicious threats, but I couldn't really find anything.  Is there
anything, aside from simply googling, that serves as a database or
wiki about known malicious software?
