Although, I see that there are more rules than the only one listed in this
file on snort.org.

So my question is quite simple : why is there no support for virus rules
any more ?

Simple answer: Because AFAIK nobody has volunteered to be the official 
maintainer of the rules.


 I volunteered some time ago, but never received a response.  So,
 I can only assume I'm either worthless or they aren't looking for
 a maintainer :)  I would hope the 2nd as they say the rules are
 going away and they don't care.
