Hello,
I have used 123Greetings.com for sending an e-card to a friend. After this, I am seeing some warnings, and I have deleted all e-mails about "e-card" in Thunderbird. However, one warning seems to persist. Here is the message:

C:\Users\barbaros\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\sg0c4cxy.default\ImapMail\imap.googlemail.com\INBOX: Email.E-card FOUND
----------- SCAN SUMMARY -----------
Known viruses: 3073148
Engine version: 0.98
Scanned directories: 28378
Scanned files: 174170
Infected files: 1

Total errors: 1
Data scanned: 25908.13 MB
Data read: 31369.10 MB (ratio 0.83:1)
Time: 19126.499 sec (318 m 46 s)

What do you suggest?
Thank you.

Sorry for posting this e-mail without searching it first; I will add this file into the exclusion list. If you have additional suggestions, please post an update to this thread.

The eCard detection did not mention a specific virus, so it was probably a generic detection, which can sometimes falsely detect a virus in a harmless file. You can always scan a file on one of the online scanning services. Jotti, Virus Total or VirScan will scan your file with multiple AV scanners, including the Clam AV engine used by ClamWin. I like to see a couple of these AVs detect something before I believe an infection: AntiVir, Bitdefender, Eset Nod32, Kaspersky, or Sophos. You can upload false positive detections at the Clam AV web site (send a file--submit a false positive) at https://www.clamav.net/lang/en/ on the web, and they will correct their signature for all users.

Thanks for using ClamWin!

Regards,
