Common Malware Enumeration (CME) Common Malware Enumeration (CME)

'CME provides single, common identifiers to new virus threats to reduce public confusions during malware outbreaks. CME is not an attempt to solve the challenges involved with naming schemes for viruses and other forms of malware, but instead aims to facilitate the adoption of a shared, neutral indexing capability for malware.'

Scary that they had to set up an organization for providing common names to malware outbreaks.
