Hi, The broken exe detection was introduced as a form of cheap heuristics against buggy mail worms which fails to properly attach to the message. These may go unnoticed by ClamAV if the data is corrupted or missing. So while enabling it on a mail scanner can help filter out a bunch of junk, turning it on for ordinary filesystems scans can result in a few false positives.
