Only known things. And there are a lot of malwares... You probably have to use several engines. How good is clamav at heuristics, I really don't know. I only use the antivirus on Linux to know what I get on email, not for real - any executable gets banned on sight. Docs that do not come directly from friends, unrequested, are very suspect, I don't open them. If I have to, there are doc converters that do not know how to translate scripts. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
