[clamav-users] ClamAV(R) blog: ClamAV 0.99.4 has been released!

I'll take the blame for the flame.   I registered on the list in haste in order to add my 
experience to the discussion about the warning message that I was then reading on the

completely forgot about the nature of list so understand how my original post was 
senseless when it hit your mailbox.  I apologize for that.  Let's put this to rest please.
