VRT Blog Post, blacklist.rules

I just wanted to bring this blog post to everyone's attention (if you aren't a VRT blog subscriber...)

It details how we create the blacklist.rules file that is included in the VRT rules (now with blacklisted user-agents!) 
There was some discussion about a week ago about the blacklist, botnet-cnc, and phishing-spam rules, so Alex Kirk wrote 
up this great blog entry with some pointers to the raw data that we product out of the ClamAV Malware repository.

Check it out.
