This release of ClamAV introduces new malware detection mechanisms and other
|
|
significant improvements to the scan engine. The key features include:
|
|
|
|
- The Bytecode Interpreter: the interpreter built into LibClamAV allows
|
|
the signature writers to create and distribute very complex detection
|
|
routines and remotely enhance the scanner's functionality
|
|
|
|
- Heuristic improvements: improve the PE heuristics detection engine by
|
|
adding support of bogus icons and fake PE header information. In a
|
|
nutshell, ClamAV can now detect malware that tries to disguise itself
|
|
as a harmless application by using the most common Windows program icons.
|
|
|
|
- Signature Improvements: logical signature improvements to allow more
|
|
detailed matching and referencing groups of signatures. Additionally,
|
|
improvements to wildcard matching on word boundaries and newlines.
|
|
|
|
- Support for new archives: 7zip, InstallShield and CPIO. LibClamAV
|
|
can now transparently unpack and inspect their contents.
|
|
|
|
- Support for new executable file formats: 64-bit ELF files and OS X
|
|
Universal Binaries with Mach-O files. Additionally, the PE module
|
|
can now decompress and inspect executables packed with UPX 3.0.
|
|
|
|
- Performance improvements: overall performance improvements and memory
|
|
optimizations for a better overall resource utilization experience.
|
|
|
|
- Native Windows Support: ClamAV will now build natively under Visual
|
|
Studio. This will allow 3rd Party application developers on Windows
|
|
to easily integrate LibClamAV into their applications.
