[clamav-users] - False Positive

The file has been subject to daily scanning since Mar 2015. According to
the mtime, the file has not been changed since. However, the positive
finding from ClamAV occurred just yesterday. That's why it seems to me that
this might be a false positive.

Please let me know what you think.

Cheers
Ingo
