Bug in SweepViruses.pm?

[Holger Gebhard]

Very nice solution, just changed the Code-Line in SweepViruses.pm...
Now the Summary only shows the number of different Viruses :-)

Is possible to modify the Logline "...found .. infections" in sub
TryCommercial a litte bit? The variable "$$rCounter" is still a
number >0 after a Virus is found. So after the first Virus for all
Scanners a Logline is added with Infectioncount, regardless of
they have a virus found or not.
