If clamav is > incorrectly marking them as viruses, please submit the files as > false positives at http://cgi.clamav.net/sendvirus.cgi Agreed. However, also please note that sometimes people have Excel or Word docs that were infected and then cleaned, which still contain some viral fingerprints that ClamAV recognizes. If you can quarantine some of these files and double-check with some other viral scanners, you might find that ClamAV is actually blocking these files for good reason.... -- -Chuck _______________________________________________ http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html _______________________________________________ http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
