RE: another VX site?

What do you mean by that?

Like the tropical storm naming systems?
Whatever ... some uniform naming scheme shared among all the vendors. I
think that a consortium made up of a dozen or so of the AV vendors would
suffice to push others to use the same scheme.

Of course, a numbering scheme is already a turn into the right direction,
but it won't help too much because the different fora or flooded with the
different names (not numbers), while many of the differing names actually
mean the same malware. So someone in search for information about one thing
might find a different thing instead of what he searches for or not find it
at all because the naming scheme of his vendor is not quite wide-spread.

Regards,

Oliver Schneider
