All false positives (Linux and Windows) should be reported to Clam AV starting at http://www.clamav.net/lang/en/sendvirus/ on the web. This page has one link for false positives and another link for undetected viruses, so be sure to choose the correct link. You can verify detections or false positives by scanning them with either the Jotti or Virus Total online scanning services. I like to see at least 2 of these AVs detect a file as infected before I believe it: Avira AntiVir, Bitdefender, NOD32, Kaspersky, and Sophos.
Clam AV can not do anything with a scan report--they need to work with actual files. If you had Clam set to quarantine on your machine, any detected file should be in the quarantine folder. Regards, |

Hi guitarbob and thank you for your reply! I submitted the file in question via the false positive submission form. I am not sure if Clamav is setup to quarantine files on my system.

I can't help much with Clam AV, since I use ClamWin, which has a graphical user interface to do the user configuration. My ClamWin configuration file has these options related to quarantine:
quarantinedir = C:\ProgramData\.clamwin\quarantine maxlogsize = 1 moveinfected = 1 I have my copy of ClamWin configured to move detected/infected files to the quarantine folder. Clam AV probably has similar options if you can find the configuration file. Regards, |
