Here's the "current" version of pavcl from the registered users section of
Panda's site
http://enterprises.pandasoftware.com/acs/software/secure/pavcl/pavcl_linux_i
386.rpm

# rpm -qi pavcl
Name        : pavcl                        Relocations: (not relocateable)
Version     : 7.0                               Vendor: (none)

Summary     : Panda Antivirus for Linux 7.0

Anyow, it doesn't work with MailScanner.  No viruses were found by Panda
today.  F-Prot and Bitdefender found 126 each and ClamAV 133.

One other point.  Yesterday you advised testing it with the -HEU option in
order to "Activate heuristic detection method".  I delete viruses so isn't
using heuristic detection a bit dangerous?

I must say, I'm getting rather tired of Panda...
