Yes - but many people won't be using ClamAV from (reasonably up-to-date) 
Linux distributions... Many will be using ClamWin, or ClamAV otherwise 
installed on Windows, or on a NAS, or whatever. Those could well be 
using old versions or unusual installations without necessarily 
realising what's going on. All they'll know is that suddenly it's 
stopped working.
