[clamav-users] Latest samba source contains Win.Trojan.Qhost-106?

[C.D. Cochrane]

Hi, I am the new guy here so please forgive my ignorance :)  But "ClamAV is the open source standard for mail gateway scanning software"  It sure seems like a lot of people are getting hot about FPs on files that are NOT received as emails?  I keep seeing log files, samba distributions and full Windows C:\ scans where people complain about false positives.  Shouldn't that be product other than ClamAV doing these scans?  I mean if it's not arriving in your inbox as an attachment why are you scanning it with ClamAV?
