Centos 6.6,  clam av 0.98.7
I have a cron job setup to do a daily scan, and as a test for developing an alerting mechanism/parsing of logfile, I placed the eicar test signature in /tmp.
The scan runs and identifies the file correctly, but it logs it twice as evidenced below: 
Is there something I can do to eliminate the duplicate?
