A ClamXav user asked why there are three different totals for the number of
virus signatures.

I was able to explain why the number on your home page differs from the
total that freshclam gives (the former does not include the currently ten
signatures in bytecode.db) but I could not explain why the freshclam number
differs from the results of a scan.

For instance, earlier today I observed the following:

Web Page: 829543
Freshclam.log: 829553
Scan.log: 829530

Where did the other 23 signatures go?

He also claims that this was not true in 0.96.1, but I haven't tried to
verify that.

We both have PUA enabled (which currently adds 1187) and I have tried
enabling other options, but none of them make any difference.
