Hi folks, sorry for the seemingly silly question, but I can't find it in
he FAQ nor can I find it by S-ing TFW. 

Does clamav on linux scan for 'linux viruses'?  I know the definition of
that is nebulous, and the number of documented linux virii is extremely
low (for ones that would not be classified as root hacks or simple
coding errors).

I need to present to management that we don't need to run clamav virus
scans across /usr/bin, /lib, /usr/sbin, etc.  We should, however, have a
root kit checker installed (right now we do use 'aide' to function as a
tripwire mechanism).

But, can I say "clamav does not scan for linux viruses" or is that not true?
