I concur. GTUBE shouldn't be included. However, the question should be asked as to why the request was orginally requested?
Coincidentally, spamassassin can be setup to pick up gtube before it reaches clamav.

The problem with this is that it is hard to test an anti-spam solution (such as Spamassassin) on the same server, as ClamAV may reject a message before Spamassassin gets a chance to look at it. This could result in the false assumption that Spamassassin is working correctly when in actual fact it is not. Given that there is the Eicar message for testing AV software, and the Gtube for testing Spam software, could Gtube be removed from ClamAV please?
