A new online malware database enables users to identify the latest virus outbreaks and show which anti-virus tools could identify and block the threats.

Commtouch has launched the Malware Outbreak Centre to display a subset of recently discovered malware and the response from more than 30 anti-virus tools. For example, by checking out a keylogger Trojan discovered on 3 November, a user could see that it was not detected by 11 vendors, including McAfee and IBM's Proventia. Ten vendors detected the virus immediately, including Microsoft, QuickHeal and Sophos. The rest detected the virus within a few hours, or within a couple of days.
