How do you detect Gumblar? I'm using [CLAM AntiVirus], but i can't find any hint on wether or not it will detect Gumblar. Clam claims it's virus database is updated every few hours. On other pages i read Gumlar is very tough to detect. Who's had any luck with this and if so, does this deserve a place on the article? Thanks - bart |

The article on Gumblar should not be deleted for a multitude of reasons. The virus is considered one of the most powerful ever encountered and was covered as such by both the Guardian and CBS news to name two sources. There are many across the web that go so far as to directly compare it to the infamous Conficker virus, which has its own page. While the information on the page is not currently a comprehensive analysis of the virus that is not because it is not worth having an article about but merely because the article has existed for a small amount of time and has not had a n oppurtunity to grow.
