We are putting out more detection for the user.  There are lots of places out there that make detection other than us, but not distributed in an large fashion, regression tested, etc.


We are making it easier for the vast majority of our users to use ClamAV and provide more detection with the built in system.

Not everyone uses ClamAV on the command line to scan mail.  Not everyone uses it on *nix.  Our user base is gigantic, and spreads over nearly every platform we've ever seen.
