Free antivirus programs comparison software for linux

AntiVirus Scanner is an anti-virus scanner for Endeavour Mark II that uses the ClamAV library (libclamav).

AntiVirus Scanner allows you to create a list of scan items for frequently scanned locations and features easy virus database updating, all in a simple GUI environment.

Bio::SAGE::Comparison module compares data from serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE) libraries.

SYNOPSIS

use Bio::SAGE::Comparison;
$sage = Bio::SAGE::Comparison->new();

This module provides several tools for comparing data generated from serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE) libraries.

BACKGROUND

Serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE) is a molecular technique for generating a near-global snapshot of a cell population’s transcriptome. Briefly, the technique extracts short sequences at defined positions of transcribed mRNA. These short sequences are then paired to form ditags. The ditags are concatamerized to form long sequences that are then cloned. The cloned DNA is then sequenced. Bioinformatic techniques are then employed to determine the original short tag sequences, and to derive their progenitor mRNA. The number of times a particular tag is observed can be used to quantitate the amount of a particular transcript. The original technique was described by Velculescu et al. (1995) and utilized an ~14bp sequence tag. A modified protocol was introduced by Saha et al. (2002) that produced ~21bp tags.

PURPOSE

This module facilitates the comparison of SAGE libraries. Specifically:

1. Calculations for determining the statistical
significance of expression differences.
2. Dynamically convert longer-tag libraries to
a shorter type for comparison (e.g. comparing
a LongSAGE vs. a regular SAGE library).

Both regular SAGE (14mer tag) and LongSAGE (21mer tag) are supported by this module.

Statistical significance in library comparisons is calculated using the method described by Audic and Claverie (1997). Code was generated by directly porting the authors original C source.

Yet Another antiVirus Recipe is a procmail that helps to filter out a lot of the most common e-mail worms.
For some of the above (plain iframe, clsid, xml, macro) e-mail is delivered normally but gets a WARNING in subject plus its old subject ($SUB).
Some of the warnings are:
WARNING-XML-CODEBASE-OBJECT-$SUB
WARNING-CLSID-EXTENSION-$SUB
WARNING-IFRAME-$SUB
WARNING-MACRO-$SUB
WARNING-NSCAM-SCORE:$NKNGS-$SUB
Main features:
- :: base64 signatures ::
- Most of these worms are MS-Windows executables and arrive at our e-mail encoded through base64 routines. YAVR uses especially selected signatures to locate these attachments. After that it places them in a directory (/virus/) sorted by name.
-
- :: iframe html exploit ::
- Through IFrame tag a html encoded e-mail can download and execute a file from a remote http site without informing the user.
-
- :: CLSID hidden extensions exploit ::
- Attachments which end with a Class ID (CLSID) file extension do not show the actual file extension saved and viewed with Windows Explorer. This allows dangerous file types to look as though they are actually innocent files, such as JPG or WAV files.
-
- :: xml codebase exploit ::
- Usage of some xml objects allow local files to be automatically executed, regardless of the security settings on the target machine.
-
- :: generic executable trap for bat, pif, vbs, vba, scr, lnk, com, exe ::
- The rest of MS-executable files that are not caught from base64 signatures end up in a virus-could-be file.
-
- :: generic macro detection for doc,dot,xls,xla files ::
- MS-Word and MS-Excel files that contain macro commands are marked with a warning.
-
- :: generic detection for most of nigeria scam e-mails (most of them) ::
- Nigeria scam e-mail is not a virus but a big spam problem... There are many good filters that use great algorithms for spam. This is just an add-on.
Enhancements:
- new switches for quarantine or not certain e-mailsbased on some ideas by Dan Smart
- YAVRQUARANTEXE if set to ON it sends unknown executables to /virus/virus-could-be as usual if set to OFF it delivers at inbox with a warning (and the X- header ;)
- YAVRQUARANTNIG same for nigeria scam
- YAVRQUARANTPRN same for porn e-mail read instuctions inside nkvir-rc
- X- marks in headers to help your own procmail scripts
- X-YAVR: MS-EXEC (any MS executable that wasnt identified by signatures)
- X-YAVR: NIGERIA (nigeria scam)
- X-YAVR: PORN (porn related)
- X-YAVR: MACRO (containing macro code)
- X-YAVR: XML-CODEBASE
- X-YAVR: IFRAME
- X-YAVR: CLSID-EXTENSION
- X-YAVR: SENDMAIL-EXPLOIT
- some more Worm.Moodown.b aka Netsky.b signatures
- another Mimail.Q
