The faulty encoding of some new worms was mentioned in the thread
"Problem detecting Worm.Mydoom.I with strange Mime_base64" last
Thursday. To be precise, missing it by ClamAV can't be stated as a bug,

treat is as an additional feature, not as a bugfix). Anyway, the related
entry, as shown by Nigel in that thread, is the following:
