But does etc. include .iso's? There are many encoding formats that clamav is unable to scan inside of, including some oddball .zips I've run across. Although .dmg image scanning was added a few years back, I've experienced mixed results with detections unless the image is first mounted.

It's also possible that .iso's are included in the list of files to skip. Have you looked into that?

Sorry I don't have time at the moment to check into this for you. Perhaps later....
