[clamav-users] Heuristics.Filetype.ZipWithJS

Hello.

Regarding your fist question you can execute the following
tools from the command line:

sigtool --find-sigs=Heuristics.Filetype.ZipWithJS-6162396-0 | sigtool 
--decode-sigs

'ZipWithJS' is for sure not in the ClamAV source code: it is just a part
of a string used to identify the signature of a possible threat (and
signature archives are distributed separately from ClamAV).

Regarding your second question: you can create a whitelist
file which contains all the signatures that ClamAV should ignore.

Ref: 
https://www.clamav.net/documents/how-do-i-ignore-whitelist-a-clamav-signature

Usually this whitelist file should reside in the same directory
where ClamAV has installed the signatures archives (on most
Linux installations is by default under /var/lib/clamav).

Regards,
    Matteo
