Hi there!

I am runnig MailScanner with AVG as virusscanner. But current release of avg
support in MS is not working correctly on my system.

Problem is, that because I am in Czech, my server uses Czech locales. And
because czech language is also AVG's natural language, all output is in czech.

And MailScanner cannot identify virus message, because instead of "Virus
identified" in output is "Identifikován virus".

This problem can be also on other locales (when there will be translations).
Solution is quite easy :-)
in avg-wrapper script has to be inserted this line just before "exec" command:

LANG=EN

this will cause AVG to always use english language while scannig for MS, and will
not change system locale setting.

Maybe you could include this avg-wrapper change in next release of MS.
