I too have some swearing in the log file. It seems that when the antivirus
finds a virus in a message suffering from a Microsoft-specific exploit (in
these days, Klez), the message is triggered.

I also noticed that in these cases the infected file, that used to linger in
the quarantine directory, is cancelled.
My quarantine directories are now almost empty, just containing the 'message'
files, besides a few exceptions for non-Klez viri.
