      Can also add them under "Optional ClamAV Database Update Servers"?

      db.12.clamav.net;db.34.clamav.net;db.56.clamav.net
      

      These are free definitions?

      I gloomily came to the ironic conclusion that if you take a highly intelligent person and give them the best possible, elite education, then you will most likely wind up with an academic who is completely impervious to reality.

        Yes, they are free definitions although donations wouldn't hurt and are accepted.  I don't think we can just add them under optional servers.  The way I read it is that the optional servers will just download the predefined definitions from another place.  These need to be added manually to the freshclam.conf location to see the additional files.  At least that's how I read it.  I haven't tried it so I may be wrong.

          I'd be interested in adding the Sane Security definitions to ClamAV. Please give us the 'How To' scoop when you are able..

            I would be very interested in adding this as well.

              OP, any more light you can shed on this?

                Any update on this?

                The current ClamAV definitions are pretty useless, they don't even detect Regin a year after it was disclosed.

                  I thought I would get notices about new postings in the thread.  Just came back to check and noticed there had been some activity.  I'm so sorry and don't want to leave everyone hanging.

                  The updates can be changed in Services -> Squid Proxy Server -> Antivirus
                  1.  Enable Manual Configuration
                  2.  Click Load Advanced to load the default files for editing.
                  (I think at this point you need to save)
                  3.  Click Show Advanced Options
                  4.  Make the changes in the DatabaseCustomURL section of freshclam.conf

                  The additions I've used are:
                  DatabaseCustomURL http://ftp.swin.edu.au/sanesecurity/junk.ndb
                  DatabaseCustomURL http://ftp.swin.edu.au/sanesecurity/phish.ndb
                  DatabaseCustomURL http://ftp.swin.edu.au/sanesecurity/rogue.hdb
                  DatabaseCustomURL http://ftp.swin.edu.au/sanesecurity/foxhole_filename.cdb
                  DatabaseCustomURL http://ftp.swin.edu.au/sanesecurity/foxhole_generic.cdb
                  DatabaseCustomURL http://ftp.swin.edu.au/sanesecurity/foxhole_js.cdb
                  DatabaseCustomURL http://ftp.swin.edu.au/sanesecurity/badmacro.ndb
                  DatabaseCustomURL http://ftp.swin.edu.au/sanesecurity/scam.ndb
                  DatabaseCustomURL http://ftp.swin.edu.au/sanesecurity/sanesecurity.ftm
                  DatabaseCustomURL http://ftp.swin.edu.au/sanesecurity/sigwhitelist.ign2

                  (Click Save)
                  (At this point you may or may not need to go back to the General Tab and re-save.)

                  As all this appears to be freely and openly distributed I'm confident I can share this.  However, I can't vouch for how long these files will be hosted at this mirror as there was a bandwidth concern expressed to me.  I would love it if pfSense would host it or provide some alternate mirror but at this point it seems we are on our own.  These definitions have worked well for me.  @Pippin did mention that the foxhole definitions (when exclusively check inside archives) blocked an Adobe update so YMMV.

                  I'll keep checking this thread so that any further discussion doesn't get overlooked again.

                    Thanks for the how to,

                    How do you know for sure if it's working in pfSense?

                    My ClamAV update logs looks ok (at first they were failing)

                    But when I look here, I don't see them being a part of the DB? If I go to the sanesecurity website and check out the signature testing link, it gets blocked. I tried using a different connection to email myself the tests, but it didn't seem to do anything.

                      my update log is also ok but in Squid Anti-Virus on the dashboard I see this

                      Statistics Unknown (no log exists)

                      Have I set up ClamAV correctly?

                      Anyone else get this?

                        Maybe you haven't detected a virus yet, so nothing to show?

                          I am having a lot of legitimate updates being blocked by these additional definitions. I do till see a lot of traffic from these same apps/vendors (Apple, Sophos, Adobe, MS) making it through still though.

                          Here a a few examples:

                          I have removed the Foxhole definitions source from freshclam but that hasn't stopped the blocks above. Here is my additional definitions list:

                            The Foxhole definitions are the ones responsible for scanning inside of Zip files I believe.  If it's still being blocked then what is it saying is blocking it?  If it still says Foxhole then there should be some way of clearing those definitions out of ClamAV.  Maybe a Freshclam?  I'm not sure.

                            Looking at the virustotal link it appears it is not a virus so maybe it is a false positive?

                              Stewart you can see in my above post, in the first 'code' section it reports that sane security.foxhole.xxx is the responsible database(s). I'm not exactly sure which that is though.

                              I removed the 3 foxhole databases and it still blocked. I have just removed the sanesecurity database and I will see if it still blocks.

                              In the end I might try and reporting the blocks to SaneSecurity as false positives and see what they say. Although on their site they say and database with 'unofficial' on it is not theirs.

                                Any insight on my previous post? Set it up as instructed. The DB's all update, and I checked the DB's were there. But I don't see them being applied. Also doesn't seem to be blocking anything more in my tests.

                                This is what my DB says…

                                  Hi All,

                                  Just popped in to say if you find any more FP's on files with foxhole_filename.cdb

                                  I'll need a direct file download url, so I can download and scan this end.

                                  I've fixed a couple of the FP's already, so thanks for pointing them out.

                                  Cheers,

                                  Steve

                                    Sanesecurity, good to see you here!

                                    I have several. How would you like me to get those to you?

                                      Any insight on my previous post? Set it up as instructed. The DB's all update, and I checked the DB's were there. But I don't see them being applied. Also doesn't seem to be blocking anything more in my tests.

                                      This is what my DB says…

                                      Based on the logs you posed above it looks like its working. I don't get the additional databases showing up in the dashboard widget either, but I know they are working due to the blocking happening. Also when I run freshclam I see them updating.

                                      I'm guessing the Squid Antivirus Widget doesn't report on custom databases, would be nice to have that fixed.

                                        Good to know it's working and you have the same thing happening. I did try to open that link you posted with the icon.lsr and it did let me download it. On the WICAR malware test page, I get some blocks so I do know ClamAV is working.

                                          You can copy/paste the links and I'll download them with wget to test.
                                          or perhaps you can pop them into dropbox or some other file storage and send me the link.

                                          Cheers,

                                            If you run a freshclam and see them updating then they are in there.  What if you download a file to the box and run a clamscan on it?  If it catches it then it may be a proxy integration thing.
