ClamAV Virus Database

Our Virus Database is kept up to date with the help of the community.
This form serves two purposes:

Report new viruses which are not detected by ClamAV
Report clean files which are incorrectly detected by ClamAV

Please do not report false positives for PUA.* signatures because they are automatically rejected (What is PUA?).
The Virus Database Maintainer team will review your submission and update the database

Because of a high number of submitters, please do not submit more than two files per day. If you plan to submit a large number of samples contact Alain Zidouemba first

If you want to be notified of changes in the virus database, please join the clamav-virusdb at lists.clamav.net mailing-list.

Submit your virus sample here

If you have a virus that is not detected by ClamAV or a false positive, please fill this form and we will do our best to include it in the next database update
