[clamav-users] scanning mp3-files with clamscan

[Steven Morgan]

Rosika,

The reason the MP3 file is not scanned is because the file type signatures
for MP3 direct that they are ignored. Particularly:

 "0:0:494433:MP3:CL_TYPE_ANY:CL_TYPE_IGNORED"
  and
"0:0:fffb90:MP3:CL_TYPE_ANY:CL_TYPE_IGNORED"

These definitions are in the daily.ftm file of the ClamAV virus database.
