RE: [Full-Disclosure] Antivirus/Trojan/Spyware scanners DoS!

[<sk3tch@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Also, just tested the following:

Symantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition 9.0.0.338 on Windows XP SP1 + all
latest patches (on VMware GSX Server 3.0.0.0 build 7592)
Engine: 1.2.0.13
Defs: 06/13/04 rev 17

It found 5 infected items (bipin.zip with the Eicar test string) and
quarantined the file.  It took approximately 1 minute to scan it.  No
crash...system stable after complete scan.

--

Network Associates (McAfee) VirusScan Enterprise 7.1 on Windows XP SP2
v.2142 (on VMware Workstation 4.5.1 build 7568 for Linux)
Engine: 4.3.20
Defs: 06/09/04 (4365)

This one scanned for a looong time.  I walked away and came back.  Over
20+ minutes.  It scanned 1278 items and found 10 as being infected (as
Eicar test file).  No crash...system stable after scan complete.
