Addendum: The false positive disaster
Some concerns have arisen over the version of ClamAV tested for the article 'The false positive disaster'.
Some concerns have arisen over the version of ClamAV tested for the article 'The false positive disaster', published in Virus Bulletin in November 2005 (see VB, November 2005, p.11). Rather than the product being compiled on the test machine directly from the source code, as is the developers' recommendation, a precompiled developer version of the product was downloaded from a third party's website (in good faith, since a link was provided on the ClamAV website). Therefore, the results obtained cannot be assumed to apply to the 'official' version of the product.
