OT Im being bombarded ..

[Desai, Jason]

Just wanted to let the list know that I too had ClamAV finding Sobif.F
before McAfee.  Of course, the filename and filetype rules caught it before
ClamAV (way to go Julian).  So for those concerned about slow updates for
ClamAV, for me they beat McAfee this time.
