Disabled by default because it is harmless and cannot infect anything. Some AV companies like to "detect" them as a "virus" because it ups their detection amount. I doubt that ClamAV is concerned about it. I have mine enabled, because my users cannot tell the difference between a real virus and a broken one. Even when the dialog box is telling them. I find it easier to rid the system of them right upfront rather than put up with users crying that their system is infected. ================================= Kevin W.
