Viruses picked up by Clam and not Sophos

[Steve Freegard]

Thanks for all the replies...

It looks like Sophos released an IDE for Netsky-D during the last hour which
was just picked up by update_virus_scanners, as it now seems to be catching
this:

SophosSAVI: document_word.pif was infected by W32/Netsky-D
ClamAV Module: document_word.pif was infected: Worm.SomeFool.B-petite

Cheers,
Steve.
