A quick tutorial on ClamAV detection: Win.Adware.Bprotector

Summary: Cisco Talos describes Win.Adware.Bprotector as a common but unremarkable adware family whose prevalence sets it apart, with a sample first seen in October 2013 consistently topping detection rates on its FireAMP and Immunet products. The ClamAV signature was built from shared strings across 4 unobfuscated samples and ended up covering more than 90.

What's compelling: A signature derived from just 4 samples covered over 90 variants, which shows how cheaply a single detection can scale against a family that keeps appearing at the top of FireAMP and Immunet detection lists.
