John,

ClamAV's message is in English:
Oct 26 15:07:08 132.210.244.90 MailScanner[28920]: 
ClamAVModule::INFECTED:: HTML.Phishing.Bank-1:: 
./j9QJ6iY3027535/msg-28920-1410.html

I agree that MS runs with French locale but it doesn't cause any problem 
with McAfee or Bitdefender.  Why would it act this way with ClamAV?

I looked in MS' source file SweepViruses.pm but couldn't figure out why 
it didn't see that message as indicating an infection.
