Would you please look through the last agreement? I have attached some extra details about it.

Hi,

For 

>        nice -n -20 clamscan \

> --include-dir="^/home/$SUDO_USER/.thunderbird/Marc/Mail/" \
>        --recursive="yes" \
>        --quiet \
>        --infected \
>        --alert-broken-media="no" \
>        --database="/var/lib/clamav" \
>        --log="/var/log/clamav/clamscan.log"

>        #--move="/etc/clamav/virusevent.d/Mail"

what is your current directory?  Since none is specified, the current directory is chosen, so if you aren't in a parent directory of Mail, it will not be scanned.

Thanks,

Andy

this should scan only the included path recursive

But when i do this:
>        nice -n -20 clamscan \
>        "/home/$SUDO_USER/.thunderbird/Marc/Mail" \
>        --recursive="yes" \
>        --quiet \
>        --infected \
>        --alert-broken-media="no" \
>        --database="/var/lib/clamav" \
>        --log="/var/log/clamav/clamscan.log"
>        #--move="/etc/clamav/virusevent.d/Mail"
it worked well.
Can someone explain what's the reason for this?
Oh and the var SUDO_USER is the whoami

regards,
Marc
