Hi Gene,

Malware Patrol databases used to be a free service and was included in
most of the 3rd party download scripts, however, it's since changed to a
subscription service.

These databases aren't mirrored by Sanesecurity, so I don't have any real
input, however, I have added the FP signature to Sanesecurity mirrored
sigwhitelist.ign2 file.

The databases to look for in your clamav database area are:

mbl.db
mbl.ndb

Remove both and restart clamd

If the above databases come back... you've got to check your download
scripts and remove them.

Alternatively,

printf "MBL_343814" > localwhitelist.ign2
place localwhitelist.ign2 into your clamav database directory
restart clamd.

For future reference, here's the current FP report addresses:

Hope this helps a little...

Cheers,
