Win32:Generic-* [Wrm]

Hello,

I noticed that the today’s update contained a number of addition like the following: Win32:Generic-AA [Wrm], and so I was wondering if this was Alwil’s new strategy against malware that could be considered as a super advanced Heruistics ?

Thanks

Generic signatures is being a policy here a long time… instead of classic ‘heuristic’ detection.
I do not see a reason for this update is anything different.
Hope, anyway, we don’t have that many false positives this time…

Of course, who am I to have the final word. Alwil team could post something…

Yes I know that is the general policy but those aren’t named after virus so…
Yes hopefully Alwil Software can comment on this :wink:

Maybe something to do with RejZor’s suggested naming convention

I don’t think this case is related. Though it would be nice to see such naming scheme indeed :slight_smile:
