Polish characters generating false positives |

ClamWin uses the scanning engine and virus signature database maintained by Clam AV. You can tell Clam about false positives at http://cgi.clamav.net/sendvirus.cgi on the Web. Fill out the form, be sure to check the false positive block, and tell them the name of the false positive virus. Upload a copy of the file in question. If you get the same false positive on several different files, one file upload should be sufficient.
This is also where you can upload copies of files containing virues that ClamWin doesn't yet find. Regards, |

Thanks GuitarBob,
I'll try that. My only concern is that any attachment containing any Cyrillic characters seems to generate a false positive, so a sample file won't contain a specific pattern, which could be used to identify a false positive. Still, I'll post it and see what happens. Cheers |

Well, if Cryllic generates one specific virus that is false positive, they can fix it--either drop the signature or change it.
If there are different false positives involved, send the files involved one at a time to Clam with false positive information. If you are going to send more than two files in one day, however, contact Luca Gibelli for instructions. Regards, |
