Maybe virus wrapper should hide path?

[John Goggan]

I've noticed that the virus alert messages contain the entire path of the
virus.  For example:

At Mon Jul  8 15:59:01 2002 the virus scanner said:
   /opt/mailscanner/var/incoming/g68Jwc328189/Xht.pif  Infection:
W32/Klez.H at mm

This seems odd to me -- I would think that, in general, it isn't something
that you'd want/need to pass along to the person getting the virus alert.  In
fact, I can see it confusing some of our users.  Maybe the wrapper could parse
out the path?  I think it would make much more sense for user's notifications
to just look like:

At Mon Jul  8 15:59:01 2002 the virus scanner said:
   Xht.pif  Infection: W32/Klez.H at mm

...since that makes more sense to users that might get an infected
attachment.  From their eyes, I think they should just think of it as being IN
their mail still -- not a file in a filesystem somewhere.

Any thoughts?

P.S.  Just in case this is scanner specific, I'm using F-Protect.
