*Can somebody explain how this got deleted from the VfD page?  RickK 05:57, Aug 11, 2004 (UTC)
* Comment: Looks like it was overwritten by Neutrality adding Pacific Root. Maybe caused by this bug: "mediawiki overwrites sections"? Securiger 06:31, 11 Aug 2004 (UTC)

message: Now that Mac OS Ten is a Unix certified OS, maybe the lead paragraph should mention Unix and Unix-like ... --Click me! 22:22, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Given that all Unix-certified systems (certified, BTW, by The Open Group, not SCO) are Unix-like systems, "Unix-like" suffices.  (OS X isn't the first SUSv3-certified system to run ClamAV - Solaris binaries are also available, for example.) Guy Harris 06:03, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

message: Has there been any word on whether any version of Clam is vulnerable to the anti-antivirus archive file attack that was just published affecting some 40 vendors? See . Ham Pastrami (talk) 00:20, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: No idea. Perhaps that's something you should ask their developers? ~~ [Jam][talk] 09:38, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Archive file vulnerability? 

message: Just to let you know. The purpose of selecting an article is both to point readers to the article and to highlight it to potential contributors. It will remain on the portal for a week or so. The previous selected article was Amarok - some mature software for organising music files.
For other interesting free software articles, you can take a look at the archive of PF's selectees. --Gronky (talk) 23:03, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The portal selectee has moved on and is now Frets on Fire - a game like Guitar Hero. FoF is also involved in software patent controversy after discussions of it's removal from Fedora (GNU/Linux distribution).  --Gronky (talk) 12:13, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  [[Portal:Free software]]: ClamAV is now the selected article 

message: It appears that Immunet Protect is being used by "ClamAV for Windows" (http://www.clamav.net/lang/en/about/win32/) as announced by the Immunet site (http://immunet.com/pressreleases?id=13). However, the http://www.clamwin.com/ site has the "new" 0.96 version which is all very confusing... If someone can make sense of this, it would probably be worthwhile to update the appropriate subset of these articles: (Clam AntiVirus), ClamWin, and Immunet Protect.

thread_title: Effectiveness section

message: I added a short section about unofficial databases for ClamAV.  There are various organizations involved in this activity, some of which I mentioned.  I left a red link for Sanesecurity (with a note referencing the link found in the Debian package).  I feel most of those people and organizations don't meet Wikipedia:Notability.  They themselves don't recount who they are and why they are committed to such activity.  Yet, they are many and their activity is noteworthy as such, besides being important for our security.
This topic would certainly deserve its own space if there were multiple free antivirus.  Since ClamAV is the only one package of its kind (another unusual case), perhaps it can stay in that section, for the time being.  But some expansion is needed. ale (talk) 08:21, 3 September 2014 (UTC)

replies: text: Clam AntiVirus →  – "ClamAV" is the official, trademarked name of the software and to my knowledge has always been its functional name (as in file names and internal documentation) and its common name in plain speech. I can only guess that the motivation for the current expansion in the title is to avoid ambiguity, but I don't believe that should apply here since "ClamAV" is being used as a proper name rather than merely an abbreviation, and I don't see a practical concern that this name is ambiguous - "ClamAV" already redirects here.
