Sorry, the clips all related to the same message, one copy of the latest
Bugbear.
Was Clam counting the I-Frame as a separate item perhaps?

I would go for Sophos and F-Prot finding fragmented or partial viruses and
not reporting them as they are harmless. Without you telling us what it
found or how big the files were, there's not much else I can guess at.
