Please elaborate because as the subject states "virus detected using

Dale,
Perhaps a little more background information about what is on those
pages to go along with the URLs you posted in your first post would
have helped avoid this whole misunderstanding. My first reaction at
seeing that first post of yours was that I thought it was a phishing
attempt or commecial spam of some kind (and I skipped over it).
Yes, I see your point, the gist was that scanning a buffer doesn't
catch most virii and the first link is the results of the scans which
occur at the time the link is accessed.
There also seems to be a conflict of the actual virus name that is
detected between a buffer scan and a disk file scan.
The settings configured to scan either are the same so I'm at a loss
for the failures and discrepancies.
Of course it's free software with no guarantee that it will work as
intended or work in a particular environment so if it gets looked at
great, if not that's OK too, I can accept that scanning a buffer is
unreliable and not use this option.
The second was just a mention about some code that allows another use
for ClamAV software and if Tomasz wanted it he we welcome to it as I
have no interest in providing it as a third-party piece of software.
There is someone else who has something similar however it's not as
flexible, is not configurable and doesn't work with all versions of
PHP or on all platforms.
Now, can we move on? Boy, some people on this list are cranky lately.
I can understand that the holiday season gets on people's nerves and
it doesn't take much to set someone off.
