Hello All,

This morning I have two "regular" senders, one which on my servers, another
from outside who regularly sends to a user on our servers. They've both
sent multiple JPeG files (which is an unusual occurrence) and they all are
tagged by ClamAV as:

     Report: ClamAV: image006.jpg contains Exploit.JPEG.Comment.1
     Report: ClamAV: image007.jpg contains Exploit.JPEG.Comment.1
     Report: ClamAV: image008.jpg contains Exploit.JPEG.Comment.1
     Report: ClamAV: image001.jpg contains Exploit.JPEG.Comment.1
     Report: ClamAV: image003.jpg contains Exploit.JPEG.Comment.1
     Report: ClamAV: image004.jpg contains Exploit.JPEG.Comment.1
     Report: ClamAV: image005.jpg contains Exploit.JPEG.Comment.1

AND:

     Report: ClamAV: msg-9197-33.jpg contains Exploit.JPEG.Comment.1
     Report: ClamAV: msg-9197-34.jpg contains Exploit.JPEG.Comment.1
     Report: ClamAV: msg-9197-35.jpg contains Exploit.JPEG.Comment.1
     Report: ClamAV: msg-9197-36.jpg contains Exploit.JPEG.Comment.1
     Report: ClamAV: msg-9197-31.jpg contains Exploit.JPEG.Comment.1
     Report: ClamAV: msg-9197-32.jpg contains Exploit.JPEG.Comment.1

I've pulled them out of the Quarantine and scanned them locally with Norton
AV (I just checked Live Update and I'm good). They test negative. Any idea
what is going on here?

Thanks,
Glenn
