    it should be possible to migrade xvs library signatures to clamav signatures, its big work to make that happend, but i like to help before its to late

    Hope this answers your question...

    halfway, problem in xvs is that we dont know if there is more then just signature matching eg code debug to catch the viruses, or even amiga library calls to test, all this make it very hard to migrade to clamav
