  • Configurable default password list to attempt zip file decryption.
  • TIFF support.
  • ./configure options for YARA.
  • Upgrade Windows pthread library to 2.9.1.
  • A new signature target type for uncategorized files.

ClamAV 0.99 beta 2 is available for download from our download site under "Development Releases".

Please provide feedback on our ClamAV-Development list, found on our "Contact" page, under Mailing lists.

Please note that we are intentionally pointing you towards ClamAV.net for downloads, as we are planning on moving out permanent download location to ClamAV.net instead of using SourceForge at some point in the future.  More on this transition will be published later.
