Hi there,

have built into the code base.

I'd be happy to opt into anything like this which might help, but I'm
unhappy with the bytecode interpreter so I'm stuck with an old version
of ClamAV.

Viruses don't concern me - I don't use Windows machines - so I believe
that ClamAV itself is a bigger danger to my systems than any malicious
software(*).  But the third party scam and phishing databases still do
a useful job with the old version of ClamAV that I run.

I'd be happy to get up to date and let you have some *interesting*
statistics if you could just see your way to including a compile-time
option which disables the bytecode interpreter.  Mr. Skoll and I asked
about this over two years ago:

Incidentally my mail servers don't have browsers installed.  You might
like to think about that next time you post a link to a download page.

(*) Experience has supported this view although it has to be said that
things do seem to be improving, for which recognition is due. :)
