I remember. But this could be useful to use in other rulesets, eg. i set a
ruleset for "Send Notices":
From:   192.168.1       yes
Virus:  bagle           no
Virus:  netsky          no
(10 more entries)
Virus:  default         yes

Instead, the ruleset could look like this:
From:   192.168.1.      yes
Virus:  SilentViruses   no
Virus:  default         yes

When new virus reveal himself and we would like to treat it as 'silent virus' we
could add it to 'Silent Viruses' in Mailscanner.conf and that's - now we have to
add it to each ruleset.
This isn't much important but seeing it in the future would be nice :)
