Actually, my idea was to have switch to enable it.... Not to do
it by default, but to have this ability for testing purposes. Like
this CIH, that was detected as Swen.A by NAV. With full db scan clamav
would have been able to show me (probably), that the file is CIH #2
and Gibe.F. I do agree, that it would be useless in real use in
server. Which raises another question - if NAV and clamav detected
virus differently, does this mean, that NAV virus database has newest
viruses first while clamav has newest last? 


Isnt this an issue of AV programs calling viruses by different names and
not actually a file infected with multiple viruses?
