Hello Steve,

Thank you for getting back to me about this. I can definitely open a bug
for this but I would like to make sure it is an actual bug and not a
misconfiguration on my part somehow. This was working before so I dont
understand why it isnt working any longer. Is there anything I can provide
to try and troubleshoot this before opening a bug? This is the exact file:

http://www.eicar.org/download/eicar.com.txt

I have renamed it, tried the other files on that page, etc etc to no avail.

I have attached my squidclamav.conf and clamd.conf files in case I have
missed something in those files.

Thanks again,

Colin
