As the virus is a file with extension ".pif", I add a filter in exiscan to block this type of attachment.
Now, I'll test clamav and send a mail to McAfee to explain this case. I send a mail to McAfee for the old version of libstdc++
From: Mathieu Laurent Sent: Thursday, February 06, 2003 3:38 PM Subject: uvscan Hello, I try to install uvscan but the libstdc++ used is libstdc++.so.2.6My Gnu/Linux distribution is debian woody (stable release) and the default libraries are libstdc++.so.3 & libstdc++.so.3.0.4Do you have a release of uvscan using these libraries. Thanks. Mathieu
Here is the response:
The engine is only compiled with 2.8. There should be a 2.8 compatible library on the Debian installation media.
Thanks for your help. Mathieu -------------------- Don't forget this weekend with the fosdem - http://www.fosdem.org J.H.M. Dassen (Ray) wrote:

The antivirus scanner is uvscan from McAfee.Since the beginning of this week, I see that there are virus not detected by uvscan (with virus signature file up-to-date). There are a new version of uvscan on McAfee Website. This release use "libstdc++.so.2.8"That's an _extremely_ old version of the standard C++ library. You could try lobbying McAffee for a version linked to a libstdc++ from this millenium, or for a statically linked version.and the lib in debian is "libstdc++.so.3.x". When I launch this new version, the program stops because the libstdc++.so.2.8 doesn't exists.My questions are: How I can install this library without break the libraries on my serversYou could try installing the "libstdc++2.8" package which is available in the "oldlibs" section of the "oldstable" distribution (potato).

If you're unlucky, it'll have subtle or less subtle problems. HTH, Ray
