Fine, so it is a PUA - Potentially Unwanted Application. And the clamav team could create a new PUA category for it. Or the people who want the jailbreak software could list the signature in local.ign2 or whatever the ignore file is, and be happy. But for the majority of us, It's not just potentially unwanted, it is simply unwanted. If I had wanted an open phone, I would have bought an Android. -- Daniel J McDonald, CCIE # 2495, CISSP # 78281 _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://www.clamav.net/support/ml
