Apropos nothing in particular, I observed this this evening: $ ls -l virus.patterns* -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 3189550 Jan 27 22:10 virus.patterns -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 3135960 Jan 20 09:10 virus.patterns.old $ wc -l virus.patterns.old 20595 virus.patterns.old $ wc -l virus.patterns 20942 virus.patterns by my reckoning, the folks at ClamAV have added 347 new virii patterns in a bit over a week. God only knows how many the people who are *paid* to write virus patterns are churning out... Cheers Si On Tue, Jan 27, 2004 at 03:16:45PM +1300, Brian Gibbons said:

Huge activity with the Novarg worm. Details at www.sarc.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.novarg.a(a)mm.html
You're not kidding, that virus is breaking all records here.
Started about 10:50am, exponential growth since then (like a thousand an hour now and growing).
It seems Xtra's virus defence kicked in somewhere between 11:30 - 12:00 so maybe it will taper off.
Cheers
