Hi Joel,

I've tried a couple of times to unsubscribe from the clamav-users list as it is no longer required - I'm still receiving the emails - I thought you might have the power to remove my address from the list.

Cheers

notice remarks :
"Just tell your antivirus program to ignore the folder /Users/username/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin"

"This is a huge mistake! "

"Just imagine: a unknown virus download some viruses to this directory. The folder is ignore by the virus scanner, so _valid_ viruses are not recognized, they can do whatever they want to do."

"And you do not realize that your wallet is stolen."

"So the devs sould somehow handle this!"

"The 'devs' can't handle this as the signatures are part of the blockchain. And they're there to stay."
