Hey, I'd accept that for a reason, even though I haven't been the only one who found the feature request valuable. The "dev time" argument has never really been brought up by anyone in the discussions, though, so I figured this was not the reason why so many people hated the request. > The problem is that if you add another category to what it is supposed > to block, they will spend more time making sigs than they are spending > now.

Nobody requested that ClamAV detect "another category" of malware, but just that certain categories of what is already being detected be configurable not to be detected.) _______________________________________________ http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
